Adam Kos Uma ubucabanga ukuthi icala elizungeze i-Lightning ne-USB-C seliphelile, akunjalo. Njengoba kubonakala, i-EU ayifuni neze ukuvumela iziqhwaga zobuchwepheshe zenze ezikufunayo futhi ihlose ukuzilawula ngazo zonke izindlela. Umbuzo uwukuthi, ingabe kuhle?
Izinkampani ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe ziyiva ku-European Union noma i-European Commission, okungukuthi inhlangano yayo yamazwe ngamazwe. Uma sigxila kuphela ku-Apple, mhlawumbe iyona eshaywe kakhulu. Ayikuthandi ukuzimela kwayo kwe-Apple Pay ngokuhambisana nokufinyeleleka kwe-NFC, ayikuthandi ukuzimela kwe-App Store, i-Lightning yokuphathelene isivele yabala, kuyilapho i-EU iphinde yaphenya icala mayelana nezintela okufanele ngabe i-Apple idlulisele kuzo. I-€ 13 billion eya e-Ireland (ekugcineni icala lachithwa ).
Igalari yezithombe
Manje sinecala elisha lapha. I-European Union iqinisa imithetho ezinkampanini ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe ezisebenza e-EU kusukela ngo-2023, kanti umbiko omusha ukhombisa ukuthi abalawuli bayo abamele ukwethenjwa bafuna ukuphenya i-Apple, Netflix, Amazon, Hulu kanye nabanye ngezinqubomgomo zamalayisensi evidiyo ze-Alliance for Open Media's (AOM). Le nhlangano yasungulwa eminyakeni embalwa edlule ngenhloso yokuqala yokwakha "incazelo entsha yekhodekhi yevidiyo engenanzuzo kanye nokuqaliswa komthombo ovulekile okusekelwe emnikelweni ovela kumalungu e-Alliance kanye nomphakathi othuthukisiwe obanzi, kanye nokucaciswa okubophezelayo kwefomethi yemidiya, ukubethelwa kokuqukethwe kanye ukusakaza okuguquguqukayo."
Kodwa njengoba ebalula Reuters, i-EU watchdog ayikuthandi. Uthe ufuna ukuthola ukuthi ngabe kukhona yini ukwephulwa kwemithetho mayelana nenqubomgomo yamalayisensi emkhakheni wevidiyo nokuthi lokhu kuzoba nomthelela muni ezinkampanini ezingeyona ingxenye yalo mfelandawonye. Kuhlanganisa futhi iGoogle, Broadcom, Cisco kanye neTencent.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
Izinhlangothi ezimbili zohlamvu lwemali
Kunzima kakhulu ukuhlobana nezidingo/imithethonqubo/inhlawulo ehlukahlukene ye-EU. Kuya ngokuthi ume ngakuluphi uhlangothi lwe-barricade. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kunezisusa ezingcwele engxenyeni ye-EU, okungukuthi "ukuze wonke umuntu aphile", ngakolunye uhlangothi, ukuhleleka okuhlukahlukene, ukuyala nokwenqabela kune-aftertaste ethile olimini.
Igalari yezithombe
Uma uthatha i-Apple Pay ne-NFC, kungaba yinzuzo ngathi ukuthi i-Apple ivule inkundla futhi sizobona nezixazululo zezinkampani zangaphandle. Kepha inkundla ye-Apple kuphela, pho kungani engakwenza lokho? Uma uthatha kuphela i-App Store - ingabe ngempela sifuna ukufaka okuqukethwe kudivayisi yethu okuvela emithonjeni engaqinisekisiwe engaba usongo kudivayisi? Uma uthatha umbani, noma cha, okwanele sekubhaliwe ngakho. Manje i-EU izophinde ifune ukusibizela ama-codec okusakazwa kwevidiyo (ngakho kungase kuzwakale kanjalo).
I-EU ikhahlela abantu bamazwe angamalungu, futhi uma singathandi ukuthi ikhahlela kwesokudla noma kwesokunxele, nathi kufanele sisole. Thina ngokwethu sithumele labo abasimele lapho njengengxenye yokhetho ePhalamende laseYurophu.
