  • No Monopoly for Apple in France

    In France, the government wants the music being sold by Apple to be playable on other devices, not only ipods. This sounds good but I feel it is unfair to Apple.

    In Malaysia, especially the ISP industry, Telekom Mxlxysia monopolises the local market. I believe the .gov will not encourge foreign ISPs into our country to pose as TM competitors. Furthermore, if an ISP is going to provide broadband services, they would still need to rent ports from TM.

    When will our government ever approve other ISP companies to use TM ports as well? 😀 It would be just like what the French government is going to do to Apple 😛
