Tech giants Google, Amazon and Microsoft could face enforcement action under a new probe into the cloud services market by communications regulator Ofcom.
The market study, which will involve close engagement with the Competition and Markets Authority, will examine whether regulatory steps are needed to protect new innovations against the dominance of global software firms, which the watchdog said can “create a risk of new types of harm.” WhatsApp, Zoom and FaceTime will also be investigated as part of a probe into the online personal communication market.
