Apple, Google to face probe in UK over industry dominance

The United Kingdom’s competition watchdog said it is investigating Apple and Google’s dominance in the mobile browsers space.

The probe by the UK authority followed support received from industry players in a consultation process which began in June.

Sarah Cardell, interim CEO of Competition and Market Authority, CMA, in a statement to confirm the decision to probe both American tech giants said it planned to investigate both companies’ practices and assess whether concerns raised “are justified and if so, identify steps to improve competition and innovation in these sectors.”
