And this was part of that:
"First, Prof. McFadden investigated what app store commission rates Apple would have charged in a competitive but-for world (“BFW”). But for Apple’s anticompetitive conduct, therewould have been non-Apple iOS app stores, against which Apple’s App Store would have had to compete to sell apps and IAP to iOS device consumers; as a result, Apple would have charged lower, competitive commission rates. Prof. McFadden has determined that the BFW commission rate would have ranged from 10% to 12%. Prof. McFadden based this range on various benchmarkanalyses he performed as well as his analysis of Apple’s App Store profit margin. Byrd Decl., Ex.K, ¶ 136."
I wonder what he thinks about Apple’s EU proposals?
It is going to be interesting to eventually see what Apple is not revealing here.
Curiously, while searching for that I saw some sites saying his testimony had been rejected. -
Is Apple's App Store a monopoly or a solution?

Sky launches MacBook purchase plan for UK customers
since i looked at this yesterday i know the MUST sign up for a dongle is a mistake, it's clearly an optional extra, you can take advantage of the free sim card and not add the dongle or just click the No Data Plan option.
"Want to stay connected on the go? Add a data plan and WiFi Dongle" is what it actually says.
