It will take harsher regulatory action

Have you seen the maximum penalty for this action? It's pretty harsh.

"the Commission is also empowered to adopt additional remedies such as obliging a gatekeeper to sell a business or parts of it, or banning the gatekeeper from acquiring additional services related to the systemic non-compliance"

Imagine if they forced Apple to sell their iPhone business. The USA did that once when Ma Bell had a monopoly on phones.
