Abstract
The three central questions of this essay are: has Google via Android breached EU Competition rules? Is the EU jurisprudence applicable to Android? Does antitrust law lack the necessary tools to cope with the technological environment? Albeit these points are essential to be touched upon, they will be addressed in a modest manner due to word limit constraints.
To address these uncertainties, the challenges posed by Article 102 in fast-paced markets will be discussed. Afterwards, six characteristics of the digital sector and why they cause difficulties for EU Competition law will be examined.
