" EU reaction to Apple's removal of AppGratis"?

Why EU reaction? This is the reaction of France.

"This is the reaction of France"? Why France reaction? This is the reaction of Fleur Pellerin.

No seriously, why even talk of Fleur? Here is a better view on the situation from RudeBaguette: http://www.rudebaguette.com/2013/04/12/fleur-pellerin-startu...

I think we're talking about the worst Minister ever for this post :)

I put "France" although I really meant "Fleur", the problem was I was on a mobile device and couldn't go back and find out who it was specifically.

Sorry about the tone if it appeared "condescending", I just wanted to "copy" your answer style to be more concise for future readers. Most people don't know the depths of Fleur's "competence" yet, so I wanted to pass along this information =)

see my comment in another thread below.

Title link bait.

Original title: French junior minister says Apple was “brutal” with AppGratis

I found this phrase in the article to be chilling: "before stating that she would ask the European Commission to tighten up its regulations on how Internet companies handle their digital platforms."

It might have been better to add a question mark, but it certainly wasn't meant as linkbait.

> and ultimately cheapen the premium experience that Apple tries to create

And the "premium experience" would be the app store? Really?
