Episode description

My guest on this week's episode of the Mobile Dev Memo podcast is Tom Smith, a partner at specialist competition law firm Geradin Partners. I invited Tom to the podcast to discuss the recently passed Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers (DMCC) Bill in the UK, which grants the UK's Competition and Markets Authority with broad new powers to regulate digital markets.

Among other things, Tom and I discuss:

  • What the DMCC aims to achieve;
  • The political context around the DMCC;
  • How the DMCC differs from the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA);
  • What new powers and obligations the DMCC grants and imposes upon the CMA;
  • The long-term consequences of the DMCC.
