So I have seen a lot of discussion about AMP but I have yet to see it in the wild using my phone.

Is it something I have to turn on or is it restricted to certain countries?

I browse from Norway.

Consider yourself lucky. I'm guessing it's because of location. A quick search for "Google Amp" had this result near the top (an Amp version of a tech crunch article). If you open it on a computer it just redirects to techcrunch.com, but on a phone it should stay on the google domain and have a little top bar added (unless it redirects you past due to region?).

https://www.google.com/amp/s/techcrunch.com/2018/02/13/amp-f...

I just opened it on my phone and I was redireced to techcrunch.com without any overlays or whatnot.

Maybe they are afraid that EU will smack them down for anti-competitive behaviour.

In Denmark I get the AMP results.

The link posted above will show a prominent "techcrunch.com" at the top - but the URL is still Google. I am not redirected to their own site.

You can click on the link icon beside the "techcrunch.com" text at the top and the actual link shows up. You can click it and go to the actual page.
