TMC Conference 2016 - Platforms: regulators gotta catch 'em all

There are countless examples of digital innovation but, as is often the case, regulators are not always able to keep pace with  the speed of such developments.

Europe’s regulators are now heavily focused on how best to manage online platforms.

However, at the moment there is still no definition as to what actually constitutes a platform, which can cover a host of activities from social media to marketplaces and online payments. There are open questions as whether there is any particular activity within this sector that needs to be regulated.
