SUMMARY:Digital platforms: antitrust or regulatory approach?
DESCRIPTION:Economic power in the Internet has been traditionally unregul
 ated\, due to the fact that the digital markets has been created very re
 cently. However\, we are now facing the consolidation of few global onli
 ne platforms who tend to become dominant on specific markets. They are n
 ot only technological operators\, they are rather market intermediaries 
 that intercept an important share of the added value that flows between 
 producers and consumers\, creating monopolistic or oligopolistic double-
 sided markets. This situation is attracting increasing attention of comp
 etition enforcement authorities as well as regulators\, consumers\, and 
 privacy watchdogs in the world. The EU is now in the process to pass ad 
 hoc pro-competitive legislation for online platforms\, while similar pro
 posals are debated in US\, Latin America\, and Asia. Is the time for ex-
 post competition rules definitively over for the Internet\, and should w
 e instead rely on ex ante regulation\, as it was done in the 90’ for tel
 ecoms?
