Does anyone care about about regulation of European “internet competition rules” ?

I don’t… A pox on both their houses…

Microsoft, Once an Antitrust Target, Is Now Google’s Regulatory Scold
NY Times - DANNY HAKIM - APRIL 15, 2015

Not long ago, Microsoft was the scourge of European antitrust regulators.
It was fined once, twice, three and four times.
Finally, after Microsoft paid more than $3 billion, Europe left it alone.

Now, Google is firmly in Europe’s cross hairs: Antitrust regulators on Wednesday
formally accused the company of abusing its dominance.

And Microsoft is relishing a second act in Brussels, playing the role of scold instead of victim.

Here are the players …. No, Here is the player...step-twin of the Koch brothers

Microsoft has links, to varying degrees, with the three initial complainants
that sparked the antitrust investigation into Google.
And Microsoft has founded or funded a cottage industry of splinter groups.
[1]
The most prominent, the Initiative for a Competitive Online Marketplace,
or Icomp has waged a relentless public relations campaign promoting grievances against Google.
Icomp hosts webinars, panel discussions and news conferences.
It conducted a study that suggested changes made by Google
to appease regulators were largely window dressing.
[2]
Ciao, a German comparison shopping site, claimed that its agreement to use
Google’s search services restricted its ability to do advertising deals with Google’s rivals.
The site was bought by Microsoft before the company filed its complaint.

The third complainant, the French search company Ejustice.fr,
has been advised by Jacques Lafitte. Mr. Lafitte, a Brussels lobbyist,
previously served as a top corporate affairs official for Microsoft in Europe.

I'm still bitter at the Germans for banning street view in their country.

I bet they use street view all the time to look at other countries.

About a dozen German cities are covered by Street View.
This might be the beginning of complete coverage of the country, on the other hand perhaps partial coverage is all that will be permitted.

Once the corporate name-change is completed...

Will people start saying they "Alphabeted", instead of "Googled" a topic ?
I don't think so...
