CMA seeks to tackle Apple and Google duopoly

The UK’s competition regulator said on Tuesday that  $Apple (AAPL.US)$  and  $Alphabet-A (GOOGL.US)$  have too much control over how users of mobile devices access information and make online purchases, and urges the government to allow it greater powers to intervene on anti-competitive behaviour.
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA), in response to a probe and consultation process launched earlier this year, said that when a mobile device is purchased, the owner is obliged to enter Apple’s iOS or Google’s Android ecosystem.
“As a result, Apple and Google are able to control how online content, such as mobile apps and websites, is provided to users,” Tuesday’s announcement said.
