They will negotiate a proper time frame. It will take years till we see the benefits. The EU will charge them a smaller fine and give them some time with that. Not their first rodeo on both sides.

'Negotiate'? No no my good man. That kind of thing gets easily abused by US corporations and they don't work elsewhere:

When Eu put out the 'browser ballot box' requirement for OSes, Microsoft said that it was technically very complicated, near impossible to implement it.

Then the Eu started fining Microsoft ~700,000 Euros a week or something.

Microsoft magically made the ballot box happen within a week.
