Context • ICT innovation affecting all
sectors of the economy (IoT, AI, digitisation.

Example: Smart home system
Two different scenarios: 1. Closed bundles: Producers sell the whole
system, i.e. components are compatible only with other components produced by the same company.
2. Compatibility: other producers can sell separate
components that enrich the smart home system Cartoon by Teddy Tietz https://www.teddytietz.com/2015/12/
What can determine the prevalent scenario?

The usual suspects
• Competition policy • Initial market power • Quality • Technological constraints • Patent ownership • Reputation • etc…
Vast related literature
But regulators may need to protect citizens against "new" threats
