The investigation is to be conducted by Spain’s Comision Nacional De Los Mercados Y La Competencia (CNMC), which has previously fined Apple and Google a combined $218 million for antitrust behavior. That fine is currently suspended as the two companies appeal the decision with the Spanish High Court.
Now according to Europa Press, the CNMC has announced a new investigation into the App Store. The investigation concerns possible anti-competitive behavior over allegedly “imposing unfair commercial conditions” on developers.
