Canada to probe Apple unit over anti-competitive practices
2014-12-12 09:17:00| Telecompaper Headlines
(Telecompaper) Canada's Competition Bureau has launched an investigation into alleged anticompetitive behavior by Apple's Canadian unit over the iPhone contracts it signs with telecoms operators. The anti-trust agency said it had received allegations from unspecified sources that the contracts between Apple Canada and local operators contained "anti-competitive clauses." The Competition Bureau didn't specify which clauses it is investigating but said it would be requesting court permission to force Apple Canada to provide it with records and other information. However, it cautioned that "there is no conclusion of wrongdoing by Apple Canada Inc. at this time, and no application has been filed with the Competition Tribunal or any other court to seek remedies for any alleged anticompetitive conduct."
