We are worried that they may use their power to harm competition and the interests of developing enterprises and consumers. " < p > westerger added: "from the first survey results released today, it seems that many people in the smart home and Internet of things industries have similar concerns with us. In order to make consumers maximize the great potential of the Internet of things in their daily life, fair competition is needed. This analysis will support our future enforcement and regulatory actions, so we look forward to receiving further feedback from all interested stakeholders in the coming months. " < p > the European Commission conducted a year long survey on intelligent voice assistants and other networking devices, and received responses from more than 200 companies. In its preliminary report, the European Commission said, "a target ="_ blank" href=" https://news.163.com/news/search?keyword=%E4%BA%9A%E9%A9%AC%E9%80%8A "> Amazon < / a > Alexa, < a target ="_ blank" href=" https://news.163.com/news/search?keyword=%E8%8B%B9%E6%9E%9CSiri "> the market dominance of Apple Siri < / a > and Google assistant has raised concerns about potential anti competitive behavior According to statista, Alexa, Siri and Google assistant are the most popular voice assistants in Europe. Between 2020 and 2024, the number of devices supported by them in the global market is expected to soar from 4.2 billion to 8.4 billion It is too early to say whether the investigation will lead to litigation against these companies, and a decision needs to be made after 12 weeks of public consultation. The final report will be submitted in the first half of 2022, westerger said < p > in the preliminary report, respondents mentioned four concerns: first, concerns about some exclusive behaviors, and binding practices related to voice assistants, such as smart device manufacturers being prevented from installing a second voice assistant on their devices. The second concern is that the voice assistant providers promote their own or third-party services through the default settings on the device, thus limiting the competitors. The third concern focuses on the data available to voice assistants and smart device providers, while the fourth is the lack of interoperability between devices < p > the preliminary report did not say that Apple or other companies violated the competition law, only that other companies reported that Amazon, Google and apple have become the main competitors in this field. "In all consumer Internet of things segments, a large number of respondents pointed out that the main obstacle to developing new products and services is the lack of ability to compete with Google, Amazon and apple," the report said. These participants have become leading technology companies and have built their own ecosystem in and out of the consumer Internet of things by integrating their products and services into branded products with a large number of users. " < p > after the initial negotiations, the EU expressed concern about promoting "interoperability between different brands", saying that this "is very important because it allows users to build an IOT ecosystem with different products, increases consumers' choice, and prevents locking in the products of a single provider." < p > Amazon said that the competition in the smart home market is fierce. "There won't be, and shouldn't be, only one winner," a spokesman said. Today, Alexa is compatible with more than 140000 smart home products, and we make it easy for device manufacturers to integrate Alexa directly into their own products. " Amazon revealed that it has signed voice interoperability plans with 80 companies, which allow customers to access multiple voice services on a single device < p > Google and apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment( Small) < / P > < p > <-- EndFragment-->
