About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about gatekeepers focus on the European Union's Digital Markets Act (DMA) and its application to major cloud providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure. Topics include antitrust complaints, regulatory investigations into whether these hyperscale platforms act as gatekeepers, and the broader implications for cloud market structure, interoperability, and competition. Additionally, the term appears in the context of platform control over app distribution, as seen in disputes between Apple and xAI over App Store rankings. These threads examine how gatekeeper designations under the DMA could reshape procurement, pricing, and access in enterprise IT and cloud computing.
