Over two years after the Federal Trade Commission decided not to bring antitrust charges against Google over its search business, a new report suggests that the agency has opened a new antitrust investigation concerning Android.

According to Bloomberg, "FTC officials have met with technology company representatives who say Google gives priority to its own services on the Android platform, while restricting others, added the people, who asked for anonymity because the matter is confidential.”

Neither the FTC nor Google immediately responded to Ars’ request for comment, and both entities declined to speak with Bloomberg, which noted on Friday that the inquiry was "in its early stages and it could end without a case against the company.”

Earlier this year, the European Commission announced that it had opened an antitrust investigation into Google's Android offerings: "[It] will focus on whether Google has entered into anti-competitive agreements or abused a possible dominant position in the field of operating systems, applications, and services for smart mobile devices."

According to IDC, an industry analysis firm, Android currently retains 59 percent of the American smartphone operating system market, with iOS at 38 percent and Windows Mobile at 2.35 percent. Worldwide, Android has over 82 percent of the market.
