Amazon's Jeff Bezos, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Apple's Tim Cook, and Alphabet's Sundar Pichai are set to testify before Congress.
Sometime very soon, four of the most powerful men on the planet will face off against a small congressional subcommittee. Yes tech execs are called into D.C. regularly these days, but this time is different. These are the CEOs of the four mega-tech companies, starting with Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, the world’s richest man, who’s never appeared before Congress. He'll be joined by two other iconic personages: Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg , and Apple’s Tim Cook.
And Democrats and Republicans insist they are on the same page here, according to committee member Congressman Ken Buck “It's probably the most bipartisan effort that I have seen in my 5 1/2 years in Congress. Tremendous kudos for chairman Cicilline's efforts in bringing both sides together.” Cicilline concurs, calling the effort “very bipartisan.”
Story continuesSo call these CEOs the Four Amigos, , call them John, Paul, George and Ringo, call them whatever you want, just know this will be must-see viewing. But what’s even bigger and more indicative of the tech giants’ might is the number of their customers. Facebook has 2.6 billion active monthly users. Google does 6.9 billion searches a day. Gmail has 1.5 billion users. Amazon has some 2.5 billion visits each month to its sites. Apple says it now counts some 1.4 billion active Apple devices out there in the world. So yes, the Big Four are in the same neighborhood as the world’s biggest countries.
“Each one of these companies has serious competition and antitrust concerns—that’s the common thread,” opines Sohn of Georgetown. “They’re all very different business models, obviously. What connects them all is they’re huge and enormously powerful.”Alphabet To my mind this company has the most market power of the bunch. Google’s search is so omnipresent that it of course has become a verb.
