The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has opened a preliminary investigation into whether Google Inc uses its Android operating system to dominate competitors as more consumers go mobile.

The FTC had previously investigated Google for allegedly breaking antitrust law in a separate case but that probe ended in a settlement.
