The Australian government has launched an investigation into three of the globe’s biggest technology companies, according to reports. Microsoft, Apple and Adobe have been ordered for an examination by the lower house committee for alleged price-fixing. The probe, which was launched last May, focused on why customers paid higher prices for the same products – specifically, software and hardware – in the US, according to reports; the three companies have been ordered to appear at a public hearing to be held this March.
