      Frankly, 113 million $ is literally peanuts for a global company like Google/Alphabet. A government would need to make them pay several billions USD - every month - until Google changes their behavior.

            Good for India. However $113 M sounds like a slap-on-the-hand fine.

                Anonymous, 27 Oct 2022Hope it backfires and instead you have to pay Google..think MS antitrust becauss of media player etc. This is why i've been telling people not to expect the 1st party apps they want.

                All about investors and keeping profits on an up swing. Free search engine (yes the big $ maker), android, wear os, street view, gmail and they all require dev. and mantenance. Now they're cashing in with the ecosystem using the watch to help sell/market the idea. My it's to early i should not be typing thoughts.

                                    If, India government is doing this to Apple and Samsung as well, (although not saying that these tech company are innocent), but obviously India government is really targeting foreign company really hard these day.

                                      Can we apply the same for a real store? So I can sell my products in that store using their shelves, electricity, and other facilities but use bill out my products in my own no-one-know billing service so that store will bear the expenses, I will take the total profit.

                                        Is this the new way of making money? I mean, if google is anti-competitive, and am not saying that it is not, but what should apple do? 🤑. I do not know how much money google makes in india but i doubt it covers the fines they have to pay only this Month... just saying.
