Google names Android judgment by Indian antitrust administrators a ‘setback’ for customers. The CCI also ordered Google to change its approach to the Android platform and restricted certain revenue-sharing deals with smartphone makers. Alphabet’s Google said on Friday that the Indian Antitrust Department’s fine of INR 13.38 billion for anti-competitive practices was a “huge setback” for consumers and businesses in the country.
The Competition Commission of India (CCI) said Thursday that Google will use its dominance in markets such as online search and the Android App Store to protect the position of apps such as Chrome and YouTube in mobile web browsers and online video hosting.
Aside from the fine, the CCI ordered Google to change its approach to the Android platform and restricted certain revenue-sharing deals with smartphone makers.
A Google spokesperson said Friday, “Android is giving everyone more choices and empowering thousands of successful businesses in India and around the world.
“CCI’s decision is a major setback for Indian consumers and businesses, poses serious security risks to Indians who rely on Android’s security features, and drives up the cost of Indians’ mobile devices.”
Google said it would consider a determination to consider the following steps.
