They intended to investigate the cloud/mobile gaming and App Stores, plus look at mobile browser competition (or lack their of on iOS).
Sadly Apple, clearly feeling threatened by it, forced it to be stopped on a fairly stupid technicality. Hopefully they will be able to relaunch it soon.

If this decision re Microsoft+Activision is anything to go by, the wider investigation and potential regulation coming from it could have been very impactful.
