Competition Commission probes Google for alleged unfair biz ways

New Delhi, June 23

The Competition Commission of India (CCI) has ordered a detailed probe against Google for alleged anti-competitive practices in the smart television operating systems market in the country.

After assessing a complaint, the watchdog has reached the prima-facie view that Google is dominant in the relevant market for licensable smart TV device operating systems in India.

In the order, the CCI said that prima-facie mandatory pre-installation of all the Google applications under Television App Distribution Agreement (TADA) amounts to imposition of unfair conditions on the smart TV device manufacturers. — PTI
