European regulators suiting up for another round with Google — this time about Android

July 30, 2014

After a nearly four-year investigation into Google’s search business, and with a new European Union antitrust chief coming aboard in the fall, the regulators appear to be intensifying their efforts with new, more detailed inquiries sent to the company seeking information about these kinds of issues.

“European consumers tend to be much more skeptical of big business than consumers in the U.S. market,” Parks Associates’ Director of Research Brett Sappington told VentureBeat. “[And] European regulators tend to take a more critical view of companies that are perceived to have a dominant position in the marketplace.”
