A Competition Commission of India official has said today that a complaint was filed against Apple alleging anti-competitive practices in regards to sales of the iPhone 4 in the nation.
The complaint alleges that Apple has broken the law by only offering the phone via two carrier, Bharti Airtel and Aircel.
Speaking anonymously, the official says the Commission is looking into the complaint and whether it requires further action.
Apple says it has not received notice from the Commission yet but waved off the complaint, adding they sell the iPhone unlocked through the operators and that all data plans bundled by the operators are optional.
As long as you have a GSM SIM card, you can use the unlocked iPhone 4 in India.
