A new directive of the European Union could force Apple to do something unimaginable for most of the leaders of the Cupertino company, that is, to "open" its software to the rest of the world. The new legislative initiative was named "Digital Agenda" and aims to ease the interconnectivity between smartphones by establishing certain standards regarding software so that an Android device, for example, could be synchronized with iTunes to copy the content of the database in the terminal. The same law could compel Apple to implement flash in iOS, if the EU decides that it should be a standard for all terminals sold in Europe.
I personally think that this initiative it will be "lost" and we will not see applied absolutely anything that is being talked about now, however it would be interesting for the EU to adopt the legislative initiative, I would really like to see how Apple will act following such a decision.

All'interno del documento, figure in fact a paragraph that concerns the question of the interoperability that touches nearby l'azienda di Jobs. Within the document, therefore included a paragraph regarding the interoperability issue that touches the very holding of Jobs. "Given that non-tutte diffusive technologies are based on their standard - affirms the Commissione - there is the risk, in these sectors, of losing the advantages of interoperability. "Since not all pervasive technologies are based on standards - the Commission says - there is a risk in these areas, losing the advantages of interoperability. La Commissione esaminerà la fattibilità di misure che potieri portare attori economici importanti a concedere licenze relative alle informazioni sull'interoperabilità promovuendo nel contempo l'innovazione e la competitività". The Commission will examine the feasibility of measures that could bring major economic actors to grant licenses for the interoperability information while promoting innovation and competitiveness. "Naturally, this passage concerns all Ict operators of a certain weight, but one of the cases that comes immediately to mind is that of Apple, which not only refuses to admit Adobe technology to its devices, but prevents the synchronization of basic smartphones su Android, dei lettori Palm e di altri Mp3 players concorrenti all'iPod, con iTunes. Of course, this step applies to all ICT professionals of a certain weight, but one of the cases that comes to mind is Apple, which not only refuses to admit the Adobe technology on its devices, but prevents the synchronization of smartphones based on Android, Palm Reader and other competitors to the iPod MP3 player with iTunes. Un comportamento che da tempo viene stigmatizzato da parezzi European States, fra i quali Regno Unito e Norvegia. Behavior that has long been condemned by several European countries, including the United Kingdom and Norway. Una mossa della Commissione Europea, abrebe però tutt'altro peso; the EU is serious, come ben sa Microsoft, bersagliata a più riprese da sanzioni milionarie e fra le "measures" foreseen by the Digital Agenda è possibile che ci siano delle sanzioni per behautiur ostruzionisticis delle compagnie. The Digital Agenda wants to establish principles so that la rivoluzione digitale possa trovare pieno compimento in Europe entro il 2020. A move by the European Commission, but would weigh far, the EU is serious, as you know Microsoft, targeted sanctions on several occasions by the millions and among the "measures" under the Digital Agenda it is also possible that there are penalties for obstructionist behavior of the Digital Agenda compagnie.La wants to establish principles for the digital revolution can find fulfillment in Europe by 2020. The fundamental philosophy that inspires is simple and perfectly in line with the spirit of the network: it is only through sharing and exchange that the idea flourishes and the knowledge increases: those who put barriers, techniques and economics will fight. The basic philosophy that inspires it is simple and perfectly in keeping with the spirit of the Net is only through sharing and exchanging ideas that flourish and increase knowledge: who puts barriers, technical or economic, must be fought. And in the paragraph sopracitato, relativo all'interoperabilità degli standard, figure un'important distinguo: a difference of what happens in a normal antitrust procedure, non si parla di azienda con una position "dominante", (condizione che può essere molto difficile da demonstrare , tranne che per Google e Microsoft), ma soltanto di "important economic players".
