Google and Apple face extra UK scrutiny over 'strategic' role in mobile platforms
"Following the CMA's decision today, our mobile business in the UK faces a set of new - and, as of yet, uncertain - rules, The CMA's next steps will be crucial if the UK's digital markets regime is to meet its promise of being pro-growth and pro-innovation."
"disappointing, disproportionate and unwarranted,"
The Competition and Markets Authority designated Google and Apple with strategic market status over their roles in mobile ecosystems. The designation gives the CMA powers to impose targeted measures to open up competition and ensure fair treatment of consumers and businesses. The move follows separate investigations into Android and iOS under new digital market regulations. Google criticized the decision as disappointing and said its UK mobile business now faces uncertain new rules. The CMA noted the status does not imply wrongdoing but enables interventions to improve market fairness and competition.
