This could raise flags with regulators as Amazon decides to stop selling Apple TV and Google Chromecast on its site by October 29th. Their reason? From the looks of it, to get more people to use their Prime Video service. According to Amazon, “Over the last three years, Prime Video has become an important part of Prime. It’s important that the streaming media players we sell interact well with Prime Video in order to avoid customer confusion.”
But are they breaching any anti-trust laws? By stopping sale of items by their competitors, are they stifling competition? Do they have that big of a market to make this move illegal? Let’s see if this raises any flags. For now, you still have until the end of the month to shop for these items on Amazon.
