ROME - Even a clash of the titans of the digital world. Microsoft has submitted to the Commission a complaint against Google for abuse of dominant position. The survey is part of an already open by the Antitrust Authority of the EU, about the company's Mountain View last November, after several complaints, including that of the Internet portal owned by Microsoft Hello.
He writes a Redmon counsel, Brad Smith, on his official blog: "We recognize that Google has made over the past decade a number of innovations for which we should be commended. But we are concerned by the extension of a pipeline to halt the creation any alternative by competitors. " It 's the first time the company takes the field in Windows directly against his most formidable opponent, but not the first time the two big clash.
Recently we were faced with the functionality of Bing, Microsoft engine. The quote in the EU is a move that leaves no "not surprised" at Google, as reported by Al Verney, a spokesman for the European company's Mountain View: "We will continue to discuss with the European Commission. And we'll be happy to explain how our activities ".
The European Commission has "taken note of the complaint from Microsoft," said Joaquin Almunia, spokesman for EU Competition Commissioner merely add to formally inform Google, as required by the procedure. The Antitrust Authority must investigate both on the research of Google (who refuses to communicate its market share, expected around 95%) and activity related to online advertising.
The suspect in this context is that Big G has recourse to exclusivity clauses imposed advertising partners.
