Google, monopoly, Android-IT information
IT information news on May 12, Google recently in Foreign Affairs is unlikely to feel any better, quarrel with EU antitrust regulators for years to no avail, sources said on Wednesday, United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) officials have time and again proposed whether Google abuses its dominant advantage in the Internet search market problem, this means that the Agency will on Google antitrust investigation. The funny thing is, the Agency three years ago, has just concluded its antitrust investigation of Google.
Senior Federal Trade Commission antitrust officials in recent months have been in the same opposition to Google's business practices of large United States companies are discussed. Information phone is currently in the early stages, but it is clearly a negative signal for Google, which means that the Federal Trade Commission has set his sights on Google, once the information is complete, and will likely again on Google antitrust investigation. Why say it again? Because in early 2013, the Federal Trade Commission has just concluded its antitrust investigation of Google for 19 months, the results of this survey to Google "unscathed" end.
Official results, causing discontent among some critics, who point out that the Commission because Google actively lobby in Washington, and ensure concessions from Google on a number of patents and business practices. They pointed out that Google has been using its network dominance unfairly treat competitors. Such as kick the competitor's product search Home.
News that the Federal Trade Commission has recently been in close contact and related businesses, survey the industry views on the abuse of Google Android smart phone software monopoly. But investigations into Google's search business is more important, because it involves the core of Google's business model.
Google Alphabet has yet to comment on the news of the parent company. But I do not know the future in the context of EU and FTC before and after the fight, what would be the strategy?
三年前我曾放过你:传美FTC将再对
谷歌展开反垄断调查 -

IT资讯讯 5月12日消息,谷歌最近在外交方面不大好过,正和欧盟反垄断机构争吵多年无果的时候,周三有消息人士透露,美国联邦贸易委员会(FTC)官员已再次提出谷歌是否滥用其互联网搜索市场统治性优势的问题,这意味着,该机构将对谷歌展开反垄断调查。有意思的是,该机构三年前刚结束对谷歌的反垄断调查。
联邦贸易委员会高级反垄断官员最近几个月一直在同一家反对谷歌商业行为的大型美国公司进行讨论。目前正处于早期的信息手机阶段,不过这对谷歌而言显然是个不利的信号,这意味着联邦贸易委员会已经将目光瞄准谷歌,一旦信息掌握完毕,将很有可能再次对谷歌展开反垄断调查。为什么说再次呢?因为2013年年初,联邦贸易委员会刚刚结束对谷歌长达19个月的反垄断调查,这次调查的结果以谷歌“毫发无损”告终。
正式这样的结果,当时引起一些批评者的不满,他们指出该委员会因为谷歌在华盛顿展开积极游说,而确保谷歌对一些专利和商业行为做出了让步。他们指出,谷歌一直使用其网络统治优势不公正的对待竞争对手。例如将竞争对手的产品踢出搜索首页等。
有消息称,联邦贸易委员会最近一直在和相关企业密切联系,调查业界对谷歌滥用Android智能手机软件垄断地位的看法。不过对谷歌搜索业务行为的调查更为重要,因为它牵扯到了谷歌的核心业务模式。
目前谷歌母公司Alphabet尚未对这一消息置评。不过不知未来在欧盟和FTC前后夹攻的环境下,会有怎样的对策呢?
