Even so, all three are thriving and the question is, what about the rest? How is the dominance of these three heavyweights impacting other cloud providers?
The Study
Selina Chadha, Ofcom’s director of connectivity, says: “The way we live, work, play and do business has been transformed by digital services. “But as the number of platforms, devices and networks that serve up content continues to grow, so do the technological and economic issues confronting regulators. “That’s why we’re kickstarting a programme of work to scrutinise these digital markets, identify any competition concerns, and make sure they’re working well for people and businesses who rely on them.” Ofcom will study the strength of competition against what the regulator called the “hyperscalers” in the market. Furthermore, the investigation will look into what limitations on the market (if any) are stifling innovation and growth. “How well digital markets function will be increasingly important to the outcomes consumers experience across the sectors we regulate. We need to be looking as much at how companies are using digital infrastructure and services as we do the cables, masts and satellites that we have focused on in the past.” Ofcom is operating under the Enterprise Act 2002, a UK law that allows it to conduct market studies in digital communication industries.
