Bloomberg: Unnamed “people familiar with the matter” tell Bloomberg that the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has subpoenaed Apple as part of its anti-trust investigation of Google. The FTC was reportedly seeking information about agreements that made Google the default search engine on the iPhone and iPad. Google’s search rivals, most notably Microsoft, have complained that those agreements discouraged competition.
