Clash of the titans: Apple, Adobe, and Microsoft under fire at IT pricing inquiry

Today, an Australian parliamentary committee grilled the IT titans - Apple, Adobe, and Microsoft - on price discrimination against Australian consumers. The IT companies were evasive under questioning. The House of Representatives Committee on Infrastructure and Communications issued a summons to Apple, Adobe, and Microsoft to appear before the Parliament. The Committee is investigating the impacts of prices charged to Australian consumers for IT products. The Committee has been examining claims by consumer advocates CHOICE Australia and the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network that Australian consumers have been the victims of price gouging.
