Apple Apt Not to Change D.C. Strategy
August 25, 2011

Apple has plenty of competition to keep an eye on. Google’s Android mobile operating system has taken some of Apple’s market share, and Google recently announced intentions to buy Motorola Mobility, a move some see as a deliberate effort to go head-to-head with Apple.

“How do you blame them for keeping their heads down and focusing on their successful products?” said Morgan Reed, executive director for The Association for Competitive Technology.

Even though Apple may not be as vocal as other companies on headline-grabbing topics, its D.C. operation has quietly grown over the past decade.
