Geoffrey A. Manne, Brian Albrecht, Dirk Auer, Lazar Radic, & Mario A. Zúñiga February 18, 2025
Summary
The International Center for Law & Economics (ICLE) submits regulatory comments urging the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) to reconsider or not finalize its provisional findings on the cloud-services market. ICLE argues that market concentration alone is a poor proxy for competitive harm, and that the cloud sector is characterized by dynamic competition that the CMA's analysis fails to adequately account for.
