The DMCC seeks to prevent anti-competitive behavior in digital markets and gives the CMA the ability to impose major behavioral changes to tackle anti-competitive behavior.The U.K.'s Competition and Markets Authority issued a report Friday with a provisional decision from an independent inquiry group tasked by the regulator with carrying out an in-depth review of the mobile browser markets.

The group also said it found a revenue-sharing agreement between Google and Apple to make Google the default search engine on iPhone"significantly reduces their financial incentives to compete in mobile browsers on iOS."
