Alastair Creelman summarizes and comments on a European report called Breaking Free - Pathways to a fair technological future (100 page PDF) published by the Norwegian Consumer Council. Though drawn directly from the executive summary, his reading of the recommendations is a lot narrower than mine.

It also recommends governments "fund nascent competitors and infrastructure" and "prioritise open-source technology in public procurement." It also calls for stricter merger control and for competition law to be enforced.
