Resum

Digital platforms in multilateral markets can be considered the new network industries due to the relevance of direct, indirect and algorithmic network effects. As a result, platforms exhibit similar characteristics to industries where network effects are central, namely concentration, market power and, as a consequence, public intervention. The European Union has started to regulate digital platforms, and many of the regulatory instruments are inspired by the regulation of traditional network industries, especially the regulatory framework designed for telecommunications, with regular market analysis to impose obligations on operators with market power to reduce barriers to entry. Vertical separation is also under consideration, following the precedent of the energy and railway industries.
