U.K.’s Antitrust Watchdog Investigating Microsoft's Acquisition of Nuance

The $19.7 billion acquisition of speech-to-text specialist Nuance by Microsoft, announced earlier this year, has attracted the attention of the U.K.’s active antitrust watchdog — which said it’s taking a first look to assess whether there are reasons to be concerned about the proposed deal. A decision on whether the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will open a phase 1 investigation will follow in due course.
