well what I can add here is that EU Commission put Germany, France, and other countries under investigation and soon can rule and apply heavy fines to them.
And this battle is not lost. It’s much different from the US. EU companies are lobbying together to put pressure on EU Commission. And they can, because most of them have a very high presence all over Europe land base. They are not just online companies…they have a lot of contracts with football clubs, a major sport in Europe, that will make some difference.
I have a positive feeling, that with the push from the UK, EU Commission will at least not rule favorably to country-monopolies.
