On Thursday, the Competition and Markets Authority in the United Kingdom began an investigation into the mobile operating systems belonging to "Apple" and "Google." According to the regulators, it is important to study the dominant position of these two technological giants in the market for mobile operating systems. At this stage, the Commission is gathering information and analyzing it within the framework of the ongoing investigation.
One of the key questions is how "Apple" and "Google" control the distribution of applications through their app stores and what rules they impose on developers. Representatives of both companies stated that they are ready to cooperate with the regulators and provide them with the necessary information for the investigation.
"Innovation and consumer protection are at the center of our work, so it is important to understand the influence that the actions of 'Apple' and 'Google' can have on competition and consumer choice in the mobile operating systems market," said the chair of the Competition and Markets Authority.
