The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has provided some further details on the initial scope of its anti-trust investigation into the UK cloud services market, in the wake of Ofcom’s concerns about the stronghold Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft have on the sector.
The CMA has confirmed that its investigation will initially focus on several areas that Ofcom flagged as concerning in its year-long investigation into how the UK cloud market operates to see if these are contributing towards reduced competition between suppliers in the sector.
