Alphabet in the soup...again!



The European Commission has fined Google €4.34 billion ($AUD6.86 billion) for illegal practices regarding Android mobile devices to strengthen dominance of Google's search engine. Sounds a bit like the Microsoft case all over again!

By the way, the EC is still to announce the sanctions it will be imposing against Google as a result of its Adsense investigation. In relation to Adsense, the EC has formed the preliminary view that Google abused its dominant position in order to prevented existing and potential competitors, including other search providers and online advertising platforms, from entering and growing in this commercially important area. 

Sounds like another multi-billion euro fine for Google is just around the corner!
