The federal judge found the company Apple guilty of colluding with five top US publishers and increasing the price of Apple eBooks. It all started in the summer of 2013 when there were some complaints about eBook pricing. That is why Apple has chosen Michael Bromwich -to guarantee that Apple will not do it again. His company will pursue the Apple eBook monitor. That is why 33 states required choosing an antitrust monitoring company which will look after Apple conduct. Anyway, in this Apple eBook monitor, Bromwich said that Apple does not cooperate with him. Apple does not grant requests to speak to representatives of the company. Who is Mr. Bromwich? He is a managing principal of the Bromwich Group. He was also appointed by President Obama to lead the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Its task was to monitor oil and gas development after Deepwater Horizon oil spill
Apple should undergo the compliance antitrust training program. According to the Apple company, Bromwich company is overcharging its services at an hourly rate of 1.100 dollars. In the first fortnight of work, Bromwich charged Apple almost 138, 432, 40 American dollars. It is a great amount of money. This sum is almost 75% of a district judge ´s yearly pay.
Bromwich was a part of the government ´s trial team. He has much experience with doing reform and order to problematic situations. He was also a former prosecutor from the Southern District of New York. He will have an assistance of Nigro- who specializes in anticompetitive practices investigations and litigation. They will look over Apple´ s inside policies and will train the staff for the next two years. This Apple eBook monitor should be enough to ensure the correct conduct of the company.
In the times of Steve Job’s running Apple, the company had a secretive attitude to inside matters.
