The government's proposal linking other retailers' e-bookstores to their iOS apps would be a particular win for the likes of Amazon, which publishing CEOs had criticized in testimony during the Apple trial.
Such a measure would make it easier for consumers who read e-books on their iPads and iPhones to easily compare Apple's prices with those of its competitors and buy elsewhere.
I got this from article announcing the Apple suggestions to the DOJ. Someone must have told them if they say something often enough, with enough force, people will believe it. The entire case was about lack of competitive behavior. I don't think something that would enhance competition on price is going to persuade the judge. I just don't understand these attorneys advising Apple. I have a feeling Apple is running the show, and not really listening to their attorneys.
