U.K. to investigate Apple and Googles stranglehold over browsing
Summary
The authority will explore the companies "stranglehold" over browsing, as well as Apples control over cloud gaming through the App Store, it said in a release. Web developers, cloud gaming service providers and browser vendors have offered "substantial support" for the investigation, according to the results of a June consultation released by the authority. Sarah Cardell, interim Chief Executive of the CMA, said in the release that the authority plans to use its powers to tackle problems where it can. "Many U.K. businesses and web developers tell us they feel that they are being held back by restrictions set by Apple and Google," she said. "We plan to investigate whether the concerns we have heard are justified and, if so, identify steps to improve competition and innovation in these sectors."
