NEW DELHI: A unit of Sony Group and India’s Zee Entertainment have proposed offering concessions such as pricing discounts to help ease concerns of the country’s antitrust regulator over their merger, which will create a $10-billion TV behemoth, two sources told Reuters. The concessions are a bid to iron out antitrust worries of the Competition Commission of India (CCI), which in an Aug. 3 notice warned the companies of further scrutiny, saying their “humongous market position” would allow them to enjoy “un-paralleled bargaining power” with 92 channels in India’s massive media and entertainment market. In particular, the CCI was concerned over how big an impact on competition the merged entity would have in terms of advertising and channel pricing, particularly in the popular Hindi language segment. Legal experts and former CCI officials said such scrutiny was set to delay the deal approval process. Last week, Sony-Zee submitted “voluntary remedies” to the deal in writing to assuage the watchdog’s concerns, though that did not include structural changes such as the sale of certain channels to reduce the threat of competition, said the two sources, who declined to be named due to confidentiality concerns.

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) on Friday proposed a set of self-regulatory measures for cab aggregation services with respect to surge pricing.According to various measures recommended by CCI, cab aggregators should provide customers with general description of various components of total fare with clear mention of the surge component in the invoice. Also, in case of rude cancellation, drivers should be notified in a transparent manner what portion of cancellation charge is taken by the cab aggregator, and what portion is passed on the drivers.These recommendations were based on a market study conducted by CCI into regulations pertaining to cab aggregation industry where companies such as Ola and Uber are dominant players. However, these measures are more in terms of a guidance."This advisory is being issued based on the observations and recommendations of the study in the Cab Aggregators (CAs) market in India and the mandate of the Commission, inter alia, to ensure fair competition and for overall a well-functioning ecosystem," said CCI in an official release. "While any anti-competitive conduct of CAs may attract enforcement action, the CAs are advised to adopt self-regulatory measures to address information asymmetry and transparency concerns,"Another key recommendation put forth by CCI is regarding preferential access to certain cabs.

Cupertino (US), September 8 Apple''s latest line-up of iPhones will boast better cameras, faster processors, and a longer lasting battery — all at the same prices as last year''s models, despite inflationary pressure that has driven up the cost of many other everyday items. That pricing decision, revealed Wednesday during Apple''s first in-person product event in three years, came as a mild surprise. Many analysts predicted Apple would ask its devout fans to pay as much as 15% more to help offset rising costs for many components. The hoopla surrounding Apple''s new iPhone 14 models is part of a post-Labor Day ritual the company has staged annually for more than a decade. Wednesday''s event was held on the company''s Cupertino, California, campus at a theater named after company co-founder Steve Jobs. After Apple CEO Tim Cook strolled out on stage, most of the event consisted of pre-recorded video presentation that the company honed during previous events staged during the pandemic. For several years, Apple''s new iPhones have mostly featured incremental upgrades to cameras and battery life, and this year''s models were no exception.
