Apple Products Banned In Germany By Motorola
- TheCapn 15y agoLong ago (and probably more recently as well) there was a funny little info-graphic regarding which mobile companies were suing which. Has anyone stumbled upon a similar summary of knowledge regarding who is banned from selling where? I honestly don't know who started this whole thing and I don't want to point fingers but it feels as though someone thought it was a good idea to try and block the sales of some product and opened a whole can of shitstorm.
- atirip 15y agoOne man, one company, one device in Germany? Remember those Vic Gundotra shot's at Google I/O ? "Draconian future, a future where one man, one company, one device, one carrier would be our only choice.” “Not The Future We Want.” Now, when Motorola (Google) succesfully banned iOS in Germany, someone should ask Vic, what is he gonna do about it. This IS the future they DID NOT wanted.
- ggeorgovassilis 15y agoNot quite correct so. A court granted an injunction which would allow Motorola to ban 3G Apple products in Germany [¹]. However Motorola must deposit 100m € if they want to make good on that right as a guarantee in case a subsequent court ruling lifts that injunction.
