Ama­zon Web Ser­vices has been pro­vid­ing most of the ’s income over the past four years. It did­n’t meet ana­lyst in the third of 2019, and its growth seems to be slow­ing down a bit, but it still post­ed $9 bil­lion in sales.

The FTC refused to con­firm the inves­ti­ga­tion. As Bloomberg , though, AWS sells var­i­ous prod­ucts on top of its basic offer­ings, such as data­bas­es and machine-learn­ing tools, com­pet­ing with soft­ware com­pa­nies sell­ing sim­i­lar prod­ucts. It also works with some of those soft­ware com­pa­nies, which, in turn, may also be work­ing with oth­er cloud providers. The FTC may be look­ing into whether Ama­zon is favor­ing the com­pa­nies work with it exclu­sive­ly and is pun­ish­ing rivals that work with its cloud com­peti­tors.
