during a press conference in Brussels
the European Union competition
commissioner said that it is charging
Google with unfair business practices in
Europe eighty percent of smart mobile
devices run the android operating system
the EU claims that Google pressures
phone makers to pre-install its services
like the chrome web browser and search
engine in exchange for access to the
google play store in a statement the
head of the Commission said we believe
that Google's behavior denies consumers
a wider choice of mobile apps and
services and stands in the way of
innovation this comes after a formal
year-long investigation by the EU on
Google's dominance of the mobile OS
landscape in response Google said its
partnership with other companies foster
a remarkable and sustainable ecosystem

innovation the case is ongoing but it

much of an impact on Google just yet I
don't know about you but I use Chrome as
my browser already and as for the search
engine what were you using any way bing
