US EditionApple and Google have 'effective duopoly' in UK says regulator
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 18 – The UK regulator aims to curb Apple and Google's dominance by enforcing new rules on app store fees, rankings, and interoperability, with 90-100% UK mobile market share, CMA said.
- Earlier this year, the Competition and Markets Authority is preparing to designate Apple and Google as holding a `strategic market advantage` under the new Digital Markets, Competition, and Consumers Act, which could lead to new regulations.
- Earlier this year, regulators launched probes into Apple and Google, marking the start of initial investigations under the UK's new Digital Markets, Competition, and Consumers Act.
- Details outline measures to enable alternative browser engines beyond WebKit on iOS devices, with the CMA proposing binding requirements, sources familiar with the plans said, to promote competition.
- The CMA estimates the UK app economy generates 1.5% of GDP and supports around 400,000 jobs, while stakeholders are invited to submit feedback on the roadmap.
- Implementation is slated to begin later this year with a phased approach, while sources familiar with the plans say the announcement may arrive next week.
