Facebook, WhatsApp wait on cold steel table as Euro Commish ponders painful probe

5 things you didnt know about cloud backup

Competitors of Facebook and WhatsApp have been asked to complete a whopping 88 multiple-choice, multi-part questions that range from the blindingly obvious To the best of your knowledge, do users use more than one social networking service?" to the vague and indefinable Please provide any recent examples of consumers switching from one social networking service to another.

Thats just a taste of the list of posers sent to the social network and comms app's rivals as the European Commission's competition branch considers whether or not to launch an investigation into a proposed takeover.

The questionnaire is the first step towards launching a formal investigation. If the Commissions Competition department thinks that there would be a negative effect in the markets for consumer communications services, social networking services and online advertising, it could hold up any deal while it investigates further and could ultimately block it.

Questions 45 and 46 get to the nub of the matter: As a result of the Facebook/WhatsApp transaction, do you expect the users of WhatsApp to face greater difficulties in switching to another consumer communications service/app? Do you expect that post-transaction there will remain sufficient alternative providers of consumer communications services/apps?

However many of the questions such as In your opinion, how easy (in terms of time, cost and convenience) is it for consumers to start using a new social networking service? seemed to have been pulled from an old telco questionnaire.

It seems the Commission is attempting to define a new market it is not familiar with as well as distinguish between social networks and communications tools: In your view, is it appropriate to distinguish social networking services/apps according to any other segmentation, based on their use by customers? (In other words: Help, what should we call this?)

The Commission is also trying to work out whether an app or service offered on multiple operating systems is a single or multiple product.

Rivals are also asked to list the five strongest providers of consumer communications services, identify which functionalities of Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp users predominantly use and whether they are interchangeable with other voice, video and messaging services as well as to sum up what it means for competition:

"As a result of the Facebook/WhatsApp transaction, do you expect that it will be more difficult for WhatsApp's competitors to expand their user base or to launch a new consumer communications service/app in the European Economic Area?"

The ATO's social (media) revolution begins

Getting social: ATO Commissioner Chris Jordan has given his staff access to Facebook and Twitter. Photo: Dominic Lorrimer

Australia's tens of thousands of tax officials have been unleashed onto the internet's social networks.

ATO workers are now able to use social networking sites, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn on their work computers for the first time, beginning Monday.

But the newfound freedom of the web for the ATO's 23,000 public servants has come with a warning from Commissioner of Taxation Chris Jordan, that it is to be used sensibly.

Mr Jordan announced on Monday morning that staff at all sites around the nation would have access to the sites on their desktop computers, a workplace freedom that had previously been considered too dangerous for the ATO.

The move, part of the Commissioner's drive to modernise the Taxation Office, would allow officials to communicate with taxpayers "through their channels of choice".

"Increasingly, people are using these channels to communicate socially as well as professionally - to connect with people, share ideas and best practice, and build their networks," Mr Jordan wrote in his all-staff bulletin.

"If we are to deliver a contemporary client experience, it's important that we interact with our clients through channels of their choice."
