UK competition regulator confirms probe into Apple and Google's mobile dominance
that it received"widespread support" for its proposals and has launched a market investigation into the two tech giant's"duopoly" in cloud gaming and mobile browsers.
"Many UK businesses and web developers tell us they feel that they are being held back by restrictions set by Apple and Google," said the CMA's interim chief executive, Sarah Cardell in a statement."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."
The CMA noted that Apple and Google have a"stranglehold" over mobile device operating systems, app stores and browsers. It said 97 percent of UK web browsing in 2021 happened on either Apple or Google's browser engines,"so any restrictions on these engines can have a major impact on users' experiences." It also noted that cloud gaming services count 800,000 UK users,"but restriction on their distribution could hamper growth in this sector.
