That may be the argument. Yet it was considered by the commission & dismissed as there are ways to monetize android profitably for google without resorting to anticompetitive contracts.
- dunpeal 8y ago> there are ways to monetize android profitably for google without resorting to anticompetitive contracts. Interesting! What are these ways?
- telchar 8y agoSupposing a manufacturer wanted to use Android on it's phones, they could pay a sum of money for the right to do that in proportion to the number of phones the software were installed on. This fee would cover Google's costs and need for profit. You could call it a license fee, perhaps.
- jaredklewis 8y agoSure, I don’t have any objection to the commission determining Google’s current businesss model is anticompetitive or forcing Google change it. However, when google then does change their business model, no one should react with surprise.
