The multinational company of online services and software of the United States, after being fined in Europe is accused of monopoly in India
The Indian Competition Commission (ITC) has filed a request to investigate Google's trade practices in their country. For the CCI, the company has forced manufacturers to pre-install their applications on all Android devices, which it says would prevent companies from opting for alternative apps or developing their own software. Leaving the competition inhibited.
The accusation arose because Android being in 99% of the phones sold in the country. Based on this data, it became clear to the ITC that other software developers have no chance of competing with the Mountain View giant. The investigation should still take some time until the final verdict is filed.
It is not the first time that Google is accused of similar practices, all pointing out that the company has taken advantage of its domain to annihilate the competition.
