The UK’s communications regulator, Ofcom, has requested an investigation into the dominance of the UK cloud market by Amazon and Microsoft. Ofcom has found issues with charges for moving data out of the cloud, discounts for using only one provider, and technical barriers to switching providers. The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will conduct the investigation, which is expected to be completed by 2025. Amazon has disagreed with Ofcom’s findings, while Microsoft has committed to maintaining a competitive UK cloud industry. The French and EU antitrust authorities are also investigating cloud computing practices.
