Tobii tvingas sälja Smartbox

by

Kära kunder

CMA (Konkurrensverket i UK) begär idag att Tobii säljer Smartbox. Smartbox köptes av Tobii i oktober 2018 och sedan dess har CMA utryckt oro över att en sammanslagning av de båda företagen skulle vara mycket negativ för användarna av deras hjälpmedel inom AKK.
Man befarar allvarliga konsekvenser som minskad produktutveckling, uteblivet stöd för olika ögonstyrningar, ökade priser och färre produkter på marknaden.

Vi på Picomed kan bara hålla med och är oerhört lättade över CMA´s beslut. Både för vår egen del men framförallt för alla användare.

För svenska marknaden innebär detta att Grid 3 fortsatt kommer att ligga i topp som AKK-programvara med fortsatt stöd för alla på marknaden tillgängliga styrsätt.
Samt att Smartbox bredd av dedikerade samtalsapparater snarare växer än begränsas till någon enstaka modell.

“Our investigation concluded that the loss in competition brought about by this deal could therefore have very serious effects – less choice, less product development and higher prices. Having carefully considered all options, we decided that only selling the entire Smartbox business would effectively address the concerns we found.”

// Kip Meek, Chair of the independent inquiry group carrying out the investigation (CMA)
