EU Regulators Fine Google Record $5 Billion in Android Case (reuters.com)
The European Union hit Alphabet's Google with a record antitrust fine of $5.06 billion on Monday, a decision that could loosen the company's grip on its biggest growth engine: mobile phones. From a report:The European Commission ordered Google to end the illegal conduct within 90 days or face additional penalties of up to 5 percent of parent Alphabet's average daily worldwide turnover. The EU enforcer also dismissed Google's arguments citing Apple as a competitor to Android devices, saying the iPhone maker does not sufficiently constrain Google because of its higher prices and switching costs for users. The European Commission finding is the most consequential decision made in its eight-year antitrust battle with Google. The fine significantly outstrips the $2.8B charge Brussels imposed on the company last year for favoring its own site in comparison shopping searches. The decision takes aim at a core part of Google's business strategy over the past decade, outlawing restrictions on its Android operating system that allegedly entrenched Google's dominance in online search at a time when consumers were moving from desktop to mobile devices. Android is the operating system used in more than 80 per cent of the world's smartphones and is vital to the group's future revenues as more users rely on mobile gadgets for search services. Google has denied wrongdoing.
The European Commission took issues with the following practices: In particular, Google:
1. has required manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search app and browser app (Chrome), as a condition for licensing Google's app store (the Play Store);
2. made payments to certain large manufacturers and mobile network operators on condition that they exclusively pre-installed the Google Search app on their devices;
and 3. has prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google (so-called "Android forks"). Update: Google has announced that it would be appealing against the record fine. In a statement, the company said, "Android has created more choice for everyone, not less. A vibrant ecosystem, rapid innovation and lower prices are classic hallmarks of robust competition. We will appeal the Commission's decision."
Update 2: In a blog post, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, said, the European Commission's decision ignores and misses several facts. He wrote: Today, the European Commission issued a competition decision against Android, and its business model. The decision ignores the fact that Android phones compete with iOS phones, something that 89 percent of respondents to the Commission's own market survey confirmed. It also misses just how much choice Android provides to thousands of phone makers and mobile network operators who build and sell Android devices; to millions of app developers around the world who have built their businesses with Android; and billions of consumers who can now afford and use cutting-edge Android smartphones. Today, because of Android, there are more than 24,000 devices, at every price point, from more than 1,300 different brands, including Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Polish, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish phone makers.
[...] The free distribution of the Android platform, and of Google's suite of applications, is not only efficient for phone makers and operators -- it's of huge benefit for developers and consumers. If phone makers and mobile network operators couldn't include our apps on their wide range of devices, it would upset the balance of the Android ecosystem. So far, the Android business model has meant that we haven't had to charge phone makers for our technology, or depend on a tightly controlled distribution model. [...] Rapid innovation, wide choice, and falling prices are classic hallmarks of robust competition and Android has enabled all of them. Today's decision rejects the business model that supports Android, which has created more choice for everyone, not less. We intend to appeal. Update 3: The French government said on Wednesday that it welcomes the record fine imposed on Google by European Union regulators, with a government spokesman describing it as an "excellent decision."
A number of companies, and startups that compete with Google have weighed in on the development. Open Markets Institute Executive Director Barry Lynn, said, "We hope U.S. enforcers of competition law will learn from and follow this example in both of these cases." Consumer Watchdog Director John Simpson, said, "The U.S. Federal Trade Commission or Department of Justice should also act to end Google's monopolistic abuses, instead of letting the Europeans be the only cop on the antitrust beat." Yelp SVP Public Policy Luther Lowe, said, "The European Commission's ruling of additional illegal conduct by Google on smartphones is another important step in restoring competition, innovation and consumer welfare in the digital economy; the EU must ensure complete compliance from a recalcitrant Google and the U.S. must take action to provide American consumers with similar protections."
Elevation Partners' Roger McNamee, said, Commissioner Vestager's ruling today not only enhances competition and investment opportunities in Europe, but it will have a cascading effect into U.S. markets, where antitrust enforcers have so far failed to take meaningful action." Privacy startup Disconnect CEO Casey Oppenheim, said, "Other players in the digital ecosystem may finally be able to fairly compete with Google, giving meaningful choice to consumers."

But until Google purges the SJW scum from their ranks, let them get raped by these fines.
Whatever shall Google do? That is 10 weeks of profit to have a complete OS monopoly in a set of 30+ countries on mobile phones. Despite this OS being basically just spyware, it also doesn't matter: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2018/apr/23/google-owner-alphabet-reports-earnings

...to make way for some ChiCom search engine to be able to dominate Europe instead of an American company. Plus a way for the Euros to raise money for their failing socialistic societies.
This just an example of why the UK voted Brexit
Just 8 years! Anyway itâ(TM)s more of monopoly tax, i.e. âoeGoogle, you can screw EU citizens further, hereâ(TM)s the price.â
I'm normally all for fining the crap out of mega-corps which show nothing but contempt for the rules, but I don't get this.
The truth is that people are choosing Google because their competitors are shit, or in the case of Apple even worse. What's the point here, Google are supposed to provide shit services that nobody wants to use so their competitors can prosper?
There is literally nothing that prevents anyone from setting up competing services other than the facts that it would be an insane amount of work and incredibly expensive, but that's not Google's problem. Android is even mostly open source, any would be competitors are free to just blatantly copy it. All they have to do is provide their own store, which one would imagine wouldn't be too hard. The hard part is to get people to use it in any significant number, but again, that's not Google's problem as long as they don't blatantly try to prevent it - which they aren't. Saying "you can't use our apps if you do that" doesn't cut it, you're still free to provide your own, or use someone else's. Making your alternatives competitive and getting people to use them are your problems, not Google's.
Google are where they are because they've built a solid reputation with consumers, not because they did something shady.
There is no plot here, its simply politicians and beaurocrats who can barely spell "technology" never mind understand it, making yet another foolish gesture or in order to try and show who is in control of it.
The irony of a european government that is increasingly removing the powers of national governments to concentrate it in brussels, complaining about a potential monopoly on internet search engines (Which there pretty much has been for a decade) is just so bizarre you couldn't make it up.
First MS in the US.
Now Google in the EU.
Apple is worse than either of them on this subject, yet somehow escapes unscathed.
Who to fine next?

Why Google? Apple essentially blocks tons of things to prevent competition on its platform...
Here's a clearer summary of what Google have been up to as reported by The Guardian.
EU Competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager says:
Google required manufacturers to pre-install the Google search and browser apps on Android phones, otherwise they wouldnâ(TM)t be allowed to use Google Play (its app service).
Google paid manufacturers and network operators to make sure that only the Google search app was installed on devices.
Google has restricted the development of competing mobile phone operating systems, which could have provided a platform for rival search engines.
Google has used Android as a vehicle to cement its dominance as a search engine.
These practices have denied rivals a chance to innovate and to compete on the merits.
They have denied European consumers the benefit of effective competition in the very important mobile sphere.
And this is illegal under EU antitrust rules.
Todayâ(TM)s ruling states:
Google has prevented device manufacturers from using any alternative version of Android that was not approved by Google (Android forks).
In order to be able to pre-install on their devices Googleâ(TM)s proprietary apps, including the Play Store and Google Search, manufacturers had to commit not to develop or sell even a single device running on an Android fork.
The Commission found that this conduct was abusive as of 2011, which is the date Google became dominant in the market for app stores for the Android mobile operating system.
Various sources state that this fine has more to do with Google's "monopoly" in search than about any inherent issues in Android which makes me think: are there any real alternatives to Google Search? I regularly try other search engines and none has come close to Google's breadth and coverage by a very long shot. If the EU is advocating for ending Google's monopoly in search, where the alternatives are? I can only think of Baidu but it's mostly a Chinese search engine. Bing just sucks. Yahoo is basically Bing. DuckDuckGo is a search engine aggregator. Yandex was a Google competitor in CIS but its dominance ended around 2010 once Google engineers implemented morphology support for Cyrillic languages.
As for Android forks, the EU authorities have lost their minds completely. There are dozens of Android forks. In Asia all major OEMs (Xiaomi, Huawei, Oppo, Lenovo, etc.) have their own Android forks with their own app stores. Also, Android fragmentation is the least anyone in the world would want - it will basically make Android a lot less competitive that it is vs. Apple which has the only iOS version which runs all their devices (sans the ones which Apple no longer supports).
In short, this fine is just absurd and I'm not sure what is that the EU really wants from Google. Money?
3. has prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google (so-called "Android forks").
I'll be interested to see how this affects Google's newest decision to "disallow" google apps from being installed on custom ROMs without jumping through hoops, or, more boradly, the blocks which have been in place for ages preventing certain apps (like Netflix) being installed on unapproved devices.
EU a friend or Foe on this one?
I have such a Deja Vu with respects to this case and the Microsoft anti-trust case. There it was browser, here it is search, but the methods are so similar.
Until today I thought Google might be of a different breed than Microsoft. I stand corrected.
Assorted stuff I do sometimes: Lemuria.org
So it will gladly fine and tax the hell out of the American one. Business complain about the costs of paying for healthcare insurance for their workers in the USA; Look at the social security taxes paid in the EU, paid by both employers and employees, plus high income taxes and high VAT. Europe taxes everything to death.
Oh yeah, could it be (drumroll) having OEM computer manufacturers install Internet Explorer by default without a way to effectively remove it? It's ironic what's happened to IE/Edge these days though. :)
We'll make great pets
Of abuse of power and anti competitive behavior? Google's _FREE_ Android implementation that can be used in any form, just without the Play store, or EU's massive 5 billion dollar fine towards a company that barely competes in actual sales with other handset manufacturers. It's another case where the fine and punishment causes more of the harm it's intended to protect against than the actual supposed wrong doing. EU is absolutely insane.

This is the EU engaging in a trade war without calling it such.
...stop doing business in EU countries. Block said EU countries from accessing their sites...from purchasing their products. Any software companies should immediately pull *ALL* licensing from EU customers and then sue them under EU law.
The EU sues big companies like this to get money to shore up the economies of countries that are bleeding money.
F the EU. Hope more countries Brexit.
Europe which doesn't even build smartphones is processing google over monopoly? Which interests would Europe be protecting?
I've been developing Android devices for many years and can tell you from first hand experience, Google has been getting away with a lot of anti-competitive practices and favoritism. Unless you are one of the top 5 brands in the world, they simply will not talk to you. No matter how hard you try or show willingness to pay, they will not "certify" Android devices from anyone but their close circle of suppliers, with whom they have very complex agreements. This is why a very high percentage of devices are sold without the Play store pre-installed. It also blocks other things from working, such as full support for the DRM used by Netflix, HBO, and many other VOD apps. You are given the freedom of choice to choose any brand, as long as it is the ones they allow you to choose from.
Actually Android follows the Philosophy of Palm Treo, open source OS with free customization and without voiding the warranty. Seems like since the past 5 years this is less and less apparent. What Google says is different from what we use. None of the Android OS is Customizable, cant move apps from device storage to External storage. Cant free up space easily with low storage devices. All one thing is that Users are forced to Use what Google is offering.
Many EU country's deeply resent that American company's continually dominate tech. Across the board they are under regulatory attack.
In the long run it only highlights that EU company's are not producing competitive products. From Electric cars to search engines the story is the same.
Resurrect Symbian?
Unsure how EU expects market to open up with this action. EU were also looking at tax avoidance too.
They feel soar about Nokia
I just want a phone I can use, not one that uses me.
My ism, it's full of beliefs.
Google and Microsoft need to insist that they aren't monopolies.
Hardly an innovation — the US did just that to Microsoft 20 years ago, EU is decades behind.
Except Microsoft was an actual monopoly in the world of desktop operating systems back then, so deviating from the free market principles may have been justified.
Google is merely a dominant player in the world of smart-phones and has not done anything to unfairly sabotage the second-biggest (Apple) the way Microsoft deliberately sabotaged DR-DOS. Google.com opens just fine in Safari.
If a European user does not like the Android offering, he can by an iPhone instead.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
> Google has restricted the development of competing mobile phone operating systems, which could have provided a platform for rival search engines.
If that is true then google has violated anti-trust laws. However, Apple's 20% demonstrates that not only is Google not a monopoly position, but that there is a healthy competition.
Microsoft has done and continues to exercise the same business tactics.
Amazon Fire is an example of a fork that is following Google's rules and has been at least somewhat successful.
Issue 1 sucks and Issue 2 is shady, but neither deserves much, if any, punishment; issue 3 however is 1000% unacceptable and heads need to roll over it.
but I might be lying.
There is no XUL, only WebExtensions...
I'm sick of hearing about Google's operating system. Like /w Chrome (webkit) most of the code they didn't even write. They took existing Linux, open source tools and stacks, created a mobile shell and called it Android. That's not a bad thing and Google has certainly made positive open source contributions yet it's still mostly Linux with Google provided "chrome" on top.
Leveraging the nature of open source as cover for monopolistic behavior is logically incoherent. Google apps and Android are two distinct things. The only point of relevance is terms under which Google licenses Google apps to vendors. Terms that demand exclusivity in spaces you already have a defacto monopoly is usually a good way to get yourself bitch slapped by regulators.
For five billion dollars you could easily develop open alternatives to the entire "Google play" malware stack.

The idea that Google has a monopoly on anything is patently ridiculous. This is government overreach at its worst.
The $60cdn stuff is so underpowered, it is not worth discussing. It is also subsidized — by the same things EU fines Google for insisting on.
You are demanding, a $60 thing be comparable to a $600 one — dream on.
We can argue for years, whether or not this or that is better — it is all useless. The valid measure is competition. Unless Google is caught sabotaging competitors, such as by producing inferior search-results when "Safari" is found in User-Agent, there is nothing for the governments to do.
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
They didn't say a peep about Nokia or Symbian back in the day. But now that Europe is no longer in control of the most popular mobile platform they are ready to start a fight.
As a fellow white male, we have a God given right to treat everyone else like shit.
And actually, the weaker sex likes being told this. Jordan Peterson has proven all of this.
Sorry ass-hole but you did not respond to the issues the European Commission raised:
In particular, Google:
1. has required manufacturers to pre-install the Google Search app and browser app (Chrome), as a condition for licensing Google's app store (the Play Store);
2. made payments to certain large manufacturers and mobile network operators on condition that they exclusively pre-installed the Google Search app on their devices; and
3. has prevented manufacturers wishing to pre-install Google apps from selling even a single smart mobile device running on alternative versions of Android that were not approved by Google (so-called "Android forks").
All you said was "but but we've created choice (by limiting choice)"
Fuck off an die Google.
Yes. It is completely bizarre that a partially open platform, albeit with rules and constraints, gets hit with anti-trust penalties whereas Apple's completely closed and inherently monopolistic platform does not. What's up with that?
Buying then panic-developing Android was Google's response to Apple iPhone after all. Android was a successful attempt to thwart a monopoly in the smartphone and smartphone software market. Still, Android certainly doesn't dominate the smartphone and smartphone apps market. It's a duopoly with Apple, in a knock-down cage match wit each other, if anything.
The irony is strong with this one.
Where are we going and why are we in a handbasket?
All of the FAANG companies need to be broken up. Android is an especially piece of shit OS that is a fucking disappointment. I've been using Android since the early days and only run the OS with CFW; but every time I get a new phone its riddled with Google garbage that you cannot avoid unless you go to CFW. Everything about the OS is Microsoft Windows in the early 2000s. The phone needs to come with everything Google being optional; not forced. Being able to "skip" account creation does not mean that the Google crap is "optional".
This is just one aspect of Google; they have other markets they dominate such as Search and ads (AdWords) as well as "streaming" on YouTube. Honestly, this fine is not big at all; it's $5b, this company has a revenue of $110b+ a year in the US alone. If you want them to feel the fine it should have been over $50b upwards of $100b; which I would have supported.
In summary, companies should fear engaging in antitrust; if they do it they should get fines up to and including at a minimum a year of their revenue... or face being broken up... Which do you prefer?
See the Microsoft case.
Yes, it is meant to actually hurt. Not be a slap on the wrist. Yes, they are willing to raise it, if the shit continues.
Yes, Google will bend over and take it.
Microsoft did. Master of turning such judgments into "free 'gettin em hooked' licenses (of purely imaginary worth) for *schools*" Microsoft.
How many big EU companies do you think are already drooling over an official Android fork for the EU. The Google substitutes are already in place. And no relevant app developer is stupid enough to miss out on such a huge market.
We'd bitch for a few months, and then never look back.
Our Android fork might even end up being popular in the US.
How in the fuck do you Ameritards (yes, true retards) still not realize that the whole "NATO obligations" game nowadays SOLELY AND EXCLUSIVELY exists because the for-profit-mass-murder industry has sucked America dry, and STILL wants exponentally exploding profits, which is only possible by sucking on the EU's neck too!
Except we say *FUCK OFF and die*!
YOU created ALL those damn terrorists and religitard extremist leaders surrounding Russia and oil areas *in th first place*! You literally deliberally financed, armed, trained
They use their android to dominate the rest of the internet search also.
Not that we all dont go there for the same reason we go to Walmart it fucking works.
EU are greedy retards.
Seriously. For what?
To look like a sucker?
Even a 200MHz phone with hardware encoding and a microSD slot does EVERYTHING you need from a smartphone.
Or did you mean a lapto with no useful keyboard and tiny screen that hence sucks ass?!
Gotta fund those mutha-fuckin' social programs somehow!
I haven't heard of real problems from 3rd party iOS handset makers. Sounds like that's the way to go - they don't "play favorites" like Google.
Geez, again just sorry, man - sorry that you had to go through this, and you weren't able to put all of their software on your phone. That's awful. But at least you know for next time, stick with Apple.
Let's not stir that bag of worms...
E and U.
This is nothing short of an overblown shakedown for perceived indiscretions. The EU really needs to worry about something important for a change.
This is how it goes for a mobile manufacturer who wants to roll Android....
M) Hi Google, Can I use your mobile OS?
G) Sure.
M) How much?
G) Free, but we ask you include our standard apps and store and make sure it hooks into the best free search engine in the market.
M) Can I fork it?
G) To ensure consistency, we would rather you didn't modify it too much, but you can customise it to a reasonable extent. Run the changes by us before you go to market.
M) I really wanted to have my own store.
G) You can do that too - include ours as well for your users to access (silly large number) of other apps as well!
What in there is unreasonable? *Free* with a few conditions, none of which a game-breaking or anti-competitive, and free.
Samsung rolls a bunch off Samsung apps on Android that duplicate the Google suite of apps, and their own store, I think the default settings use the Samsung Apps anyway The Google apps are there, but I put them in a folder and never look at them again.
Want to see anti-competitive? How about the Steam Link App on iOS? What Steam Link App you ask? The one that Apple blocked "...because reasons".
When I got into the game, 'bout 1980, IBM was having legal troubles because of "bundling".
Some time later, it was Microsoft with legal troubles because of "bundling".
Now it's Google. And bundling.
My, how things have changed!
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro" -- HST
Why doesn't Google/Alphabet say, "Fine. You don't like what we have to offe? We will shut it down for a week. The citizens of your various EU countries will provide some feedback about that.
"When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro" -- HST
is it says:
You can't control the quality of your product any more, because you've been too successful with it.
Fact of the matter is, in something like a smartphone OS and app platform, quality control and simplicity and uniformity (my next phone will be familiar to me because of my last phone) are very important features.
There's a reason why a lot of people like iPhone. They are giving up freedom for quality control, willingly.
I want the same ability as a consumer to choose a quality controlled version of android, and to not have to worry that my next XYZ brand phone will behave totally differently to my previous Samsung or Pixel or whatever phone. Uniformity and lack of "gratuitous" choice is actually a valuble service to consumers, in this age of rampant complexity and crapware.
Where are we going and why are we in a handbasket?
EU failed in innovation and punish Google for that ?
What a shame !
In, EU's standard so called third country, China, there is no such Google domination because China can and knows how to handle such companies.
Wake up, EU !
Shame on you.
Apple exists because OOH SHINY SHINY
Human gullibility is a safe bet.
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
