Mario Zúñiga on Digital Markets in Latin America
On a recent episode of the LP podcast, ICLE Senior Scholar Mario Zúñiga argued that concentrated digital markets should not automatically be labeled anticompetitive, because innovation, low scaling costs, and user switching can discipline even large platforms. He distinguished monopoly from abuse of dominance and favored ex post competition enforcement over broad ex ante regulation like the EU Digital Markets Act, which he believes can block consumer-benefiting practices. For Latin America, he said the priority should be expanding digital access, infrastructure, skills, and productivity, rather than copying Europe’s heavy digital regulation.
