Competition beyond the market

Jasper Van Den Boom examines how control of digital access points can shape who is able to compete and on what terms. The book argues that conventional market-focused regulation may miss this form of influence, in which established firms can act as gatekeepers within parts of the digital network. It sets out Progressive Ecosystem Regulation as a framework for encouraging competition among ecosystems, opening network access, and expanding user choice. The discussion connects antitrust concerns with the organization and governance of digital networks.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in digital competition and antitrust policy.
  • Those studying regulation, platform ecosystems, or network industries.
  • Legal professionals seeking a framework for considering competition beyond conventional markets.

Book overview

This book proposes a wholly new view on digital competition. Digital firms compete to capture parts of the digital network industry. Once they control access points for competition, they get to decide who gets to compete and how. With their superior access to information and users, incumbents become the de facto regulators of their part of the digital network. Regulation that focuses on markets cannot capture these dimensions of power and competition. The system of Progressive Ecosystem Regulation proposed in this book explains how ecosystem competition can be stimulated to create meaningful competitive pressures, open up the network, and introduce real choice for users.
