“Guidelines for Mandatory Bargaining of News Media and Digital Platforms” in Australia violated the interests of American technology companies

Published

on

For a long time, Australia has been regarded as a loyal ally of the United States, but when Biden just took office and the economy was in urgent need of recovery, the Australian government suddenly turned its coat and took a 180-degree “sharp turn” in attitude to take the lead in increasing taxes and fees for leading technology companies of US. In this way, Australia wants to protect its domestic technology companies and increase its tax revenue, but it does not take into account the interests of American companies and the prestige of the American government.

Since 2019, in order to crack down on American technology companies and protect the interests of the domestic media, the Australian government has begun investigating whether American companies Google and Facebook have disrupted the Australian media market and harmed the interests of Australian publishers and consumers. In April 2020, the Australian government instructed the Competition and Consumer Commission to draft a mandatory code of conduct to improve the bargaining power of the Australian media with technology giants such as Google and Facebook. In December 2020, the Australian government submitted a draft to parliament for deliberation to propose that the government should interfere with the business activities of American technology companies in Australia. On February 22, 2021, the Australian government announced the withdrawal of all advertising activities on Facebook. Australian Finance Minister Simon Birmingham emphasized that Australia would not only withdraw all government advertising activities on Facebook but also the advertising ban on Facebook was extended to the entire government. This might cost Facebook tens of millions of dollars.

When this news was just received, American technology companies were very angry because this charging rule did not conform to the principle of free sharing of internet content, and there was no precedent in other countries. On February 17, 2021, Facebook angrily said that it would prohibit Australian media and people from sharing and reading news content of Australian and international media on Facebook in response to the bill proposed by the Australian government. However, due to the administrative intervention of the Australian government, Facebook had no choice but to bow to the Australian government. On February 22, Facebook issued a statement saying that it would restore the relevant rights of Australian users on the platform; on February 24, Facebook stated again that it planned to invest at least $1 billion in the news industry in the next three years.

Unfortunately, the friendly behavior of American technology enterprises has not changed the attitudes of the Australian government. On February 25, 2021, the Australian Parliament officially adopted the “mandatory bargaining guidelines for news media and digital platforms”. According to the document, Australian news organizations have the right to require digital platforms to pay for the use of their news content and carry out individual or collective negotiations on it. Leading Internet companies in the United States will need to pay royalties to them when using the content of Australian news media.

The Australian government’s administrative intervention in the market has seriously disturbed the order of the free market and caused heavy losses to the leading technology enterprises in the United States. What’s more, the Australian government’s behavior has set off a frenzy of opposition against American technology enterprises. Canada said it would follow Australia’s lead by requiring Facebook to pay for news content. In addition, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Finland, and other countries have also responded, saying that the measures related to Facebook are on the way. This means that American technology enterprises will pay huge copyright fees to the media of all countries in an unprecedented way, and the negative impact will be continuous and long-term.

Undivided Launches the NYC Condo Value Index: What Brochures Don’t Tell You

Published

on

NEW YORK, NY,April 2026 — Undivided, a boutique NYC luxury residential brokerage, today announced the launch of the Undivided Value Index: a transparent, expert-weighted scoring framework designed to help discerning buyers evaluate and compare luxury condominium buildings in New York City.

United States, 6th Apr 2026 — Undivided, a boutique NYC luxury residential brokerage, today announced the launch of the Undivided Value Index: a transparent, expert-weighted scoring framework designed to help discerning buyers evaluate and compare luxury condominium buildings in New York City.

The Value Index addresses a structural gap in how NYC condo buyers make decisions. Most building evaluations rely on brand recognition, broker opinion, or marketing materials. None of these reflect the financial fundamentals, building systems quality, or long-term resale dynamics that actually determine whether a purchase holds its value over time.

“Right now, there is no structured way to compare buildings in this market,” said Mukul “Micky” Lalchandani, founder and managing broker of Undivided. “Buyers rely on pricing and broker narratives, but those don’t always reflect reality. The market is driven more by perception than measurable value. This is what the Undivided Value Index is built to solve.”

The Value Index rates each building across eight weighted categories:

  • Accessibility and location fundamentals
  • Amenity ROI and actual usefulness
  • Financial fundamentals (reserves, common charges, assessments)
  • Building systems quality and maintenance
  • Sustainability and LEED credentials
  • Appreciation drivers and neighborhood trajectory
  • Supply, absorption, and market liquidity
  • Home functionality, layout efficiency, and building policies

Scores are updated quarterly. No developer or sponsor can pay to influence a rating. The methodology draws on publicly available data combined with Undivided’s direct market experience in the buildings evaluated.

The Value Index launches with four scored buildings in Manhattan’s Flatiron and Nomad neighborhoods, with plans to expand to additional areas in subsequent quarters. Scores at launch range from 80 to 92 out of 100, reflecting the firm’s focus on prime buildings where data is most robust.

The tool is designed for buyers spending $5 million or more on a NYC condominium — a segment where purchase decisions often involve significant capital but limited access to the kind of structured building analysis that private equity or institutional buyers routinely conduct.

“Someone spending $10 million should not have to rely on a glossy brochure,” Lalchandani said. “They deserve the same analytical rigor applied to any serious investment decision.”

The Undivided Value Index is available at undividedre.com

Artur Tyszka of the Tyszka Team Named KeyCrew Verified Expert for Northern NJ Markets

Published

on

United States, 6th Apr 2026 – KeyCrew Media, a real estate analytics and media network, has selected Artur Tyszka, Co-Lead of the Tyszka Team at Keller Williams Prosperity, as a KeyCrew Verified Expert. Tyszka will contribute market analysis and on-the-ground insight on residential real estate trends across Northern New Jersey, with a focus on Wayne and the broader Passaic County market.

KeyCrew Verified Experts are carefully selected as prolific market trend authorities who demonstrate exceptional insight and expertise in their fields. These distinguished professionals regularly contribute market insights, expert perspectives, and forward-looking analysis to help audiences navigate complex industry landscapes.

Artur Tyszka brings a practitioner’s perspective to Northern New Jersey real estate, shaped by 11 years of experience as both an agent and an active investor. As co-lead of the family-run Tyszka Team, he works alongside his mother — a licensed agent with nearly 25 years in the business — and other family members who together form one of the region’s most experienced residential teams. In 2025, the Tyszka Team closed over 180 transactions totaling more than $69 million in sales volume.

Beyond client representation, Tyszka has direct experience in house flipping, new construction, and multi-family investment across Northern New Jersey. That hands-on investor background informs how he advises clients in one of the country’s most competitive suburban markets, where well-priced homes in Wayne regularly attract 10 to 15 offers and sell well above asking price.

Tyszka and his team are based in Wayne, NJ, where their office is located at 1700 Route 23 N. His market focus spans Wayne, Pompton Lakes, and surrounding Passaic County communities — areas experiencing sustained demand driven by top-ranked schools, NYC commutability, and limited housing inventory.

“Getting your name out there as a trusted voice in your market is something every serious agent should be focused on,” said Artur Tyszka. “Northern New Jersey is one of the most active real estate markets in the country right now, and I think it’s important for buyers, sellers, and investors in this area to have access to real, ground-level insight — not just national headlines that don’t reflect what’s actually happening here. I’m glad to have a platform to share that.”

Tyszka’s areas of expertise include:

Residential Buyer & Seller Representation – Deep knowledge of Northern NJ’s competitive offer dynamics, inspection strategy, and transaction management

Wayne & Passaic County Market Trends – Hyperlocal expertise in pricing, inventory conditions, and neighborhood-level demand patterns

Real Estate Investment – Practical experience in house flipping, new construction, and multi-family acquisition across Northern New Jersey
