Google and Apple are under investigation by the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) for potential regulatory issues regarding their mobile ecosystems. This stems from the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act, which allows for greater scrutiny. The regulator is also looking into Google for antitrust concerns related to its search services. Meanwhile, the Indian government is urging both companies to integrate the GOV.in app store into their marketplaces, a move they resist despite government talks of potential mandates for compliance.
The UK CMA has begun a new investigation into Apple and Google's mobile ecosystems, potentially designating them with Strategic Market Status for greater regulation.
In India, the government is pressing Google and Apple to adopt the state-backed GOV.in app store in their marketplaces, aiming to distribute public welfare services.
The CMA's investigations can last up to nine months, as comments on the joint Google and Apple probe are accepted through February 12.
Although the Indian government wants the GOV.in apps pre-installed on devices, both Google and Apple are resistant to this initiative.
