The US Federal Trade Commission is reportedly lending a helping hand to Indian competition authorities in India’s antitrust case against Google.
The Competition Commission of India has been in touch with the FTC, sources said, as the CCI looks to support in building its case against the search giant. India is probing complaints that Google is abusing its dominant market position in how it displays search results and online ads, say reports, a case similar to one US regulators had taken on, which ended last year without sanctions being levied against Google.
According to reports, the FTC is now telling Indian regulators that Google is using its superior technology to abuse its market dominance, and has inked anticompetitive contracts with smaller rivals that create barriers to market entry. It’s information that could become crucial to India’s case against Google, sources said.
