Summary: Microsoft and Yahoo! seek to harm Google, together; Apple and AT&T agreed to block Google's VoIP application
OUR writings about the Yahoo!-Microsoft deal [
1,
2,

this latest post which showed that it is not final. Here is
another new tidbit about this 'anti-Google' alliance.
Matthew Cantor, a partner with the firm Constantine Cannon LLP, told ComputerWorld that he believes the deal will not get past regulators - at least not as is.
Will regulators recognise the fact that having
less choice and centralising power inside a convicted monopolist is detrimental to competition?
Speaking of collusional abuse, watch what Apple and AT&T have been doing. We wrote about that
some weeks ago and the
full story finally unravels.
US telecoms giant AT&T has admitted that it struck a deal with Apple to prevent iPhone applications from using its network for VoIP.
Yet another collusion that harms the consumer then. They fight for scarcity. Just because it works well for two private corporations does not make it acceptable. Watch Apple doing
'damage control' in reaction to this discovery.
