Abstract
The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) is set to become the new standard regulatory framework of the digital economy. It introduces some innovative aspects in ex ante regulation to promote market contestability in a promising direction, like the general objective of counteracting practices that ossify competition and limit contestability of core services in the digital domain. However, the current approach with a scattered list of binding provisions and obligations not properly tailored to the varying types of digital platforms and business models may not deliver on the law’s premises and objectives of a more contestable and fair competitive landscape.
