Google warns Android might not remain free because of EU decision
What a nice PR reply Pichal is delivering here.<p>There might be 1&#x27;300 brands and 24&#x27;000 devices, but all are bound to the Google conditions. This is not choice.<p>Phone makers may be free to also pre-install competing apps alongside Googles, but they are not free to not install Googles app. This is not choice.<p>I&#x27;m using a Jolla phone. Its producer (afaik) is not allowed to support the Play Store without accepting the far reaching (now deemed illegal) conditions of Google. A severe hindrance of my choice.<p>What is this sentence about the rule &quot;sends a troubling signal in favor of proprietary systems over open platforms&quot;? The Google Play Services is closed source and required for quite some Android apps, is it?<p>Of course you intend to appeal. But from my point of view you deserve every cent of the fine!
