Good morning! According to my weather apps, the average temperature will rise slightly from today. Also the tension between the makers of that weather app has been going on for weeks. At the end of last year, the KNMI launched a new version of its own, free, weather app. It will soon also predict where regent falls, and without advertising. They are not happy with that at Buienradar and Weeronline, among others. Ads are the most important source of income for their apps. So, according to those companies, the KNMI – paid with public money – operates unfair competition. That is why weather companies together work a lawsuit. Today, the court in The Hague makes a written decision in summary proceedings. Further today:
- The annual figure season is still in full swing. Today let Besi, NN Group and Aegon look in their books.
- This afternoon, the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency will publish a report with the state of affairs of the circular economy.
- De Telegraaf reports This morning (perhaps not surprising) news about the housing market: average when purchasing a house 91,073 euros, a starter puts your own moneyabout three times as much as “for the explosion of house prices and legislation that” borrowed “on tires”.
- Apple launched Wednesday evening An budget-iphone ($ 599) with artificial intelligence. With this, the company tries to recover customers from the middle segment.
