The UK’s Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) may follow the European Union’s path such as forcing Apple and Google to open their App Stores to rivals. However, Reuters reports, not surprisingly, that Apple has formally objected to the proposals, saying that it amounts to pricing regulation. In a submission to Britain’s Competition and Markets Authority, Apple said that proposed “steering” requirements would go beyond promoting competition and give the regulator a “highly intrusive” role in managing its business. The UK CMA is the Competition and Markets Authority, an independent non-ministerial government department acting as the United Kingdom’s primary competition and consumer protection regulator. I hope you’ll help support Apple World Today by becoming a patron.
