Fears about Amazon, Microsoft cloud computing dominance trigger UK probe

Concerns from regulators about the dominance of Amazon and Microsoft in Britain's cloud computing market have triggered a investigation into the competitiveness of the key industry. The UK communications regulator Ofcom said Thursday that its yearlong study of the cloud communications services market found features that could limit competition. British businesses face barriers when they try to switch or use multiple cloud suppliers, it said. Cloud computing uses data centres around the world to store photos and emails or run software. It has become a vital service for many businesses, which turn to cloud providers to avoid the cost of buying expensive equipment and real estate to run their own data centres. Ofcom asked the UK antitrust watchdog, the Competition and Markets Authority, to take a closer look at the 7.5 billion-pound ($9 billion) cloud market. The watchdog said it was opening an in-depth investigation that's expected to wrap up by April 2025. Some UK businesses have to
