- Telstra and Optus have agreed to stop selling phones, which have Google exclusively pre-installed on them in response to an ACCC investigation.
“ACCC began looking into Google’s market share when it comes to search engines on mobile phones several years ago,” Sky News Business Reporter Edward Boyd said.
“They published some data this morning showing that Google basically has a monopoly on the search engine market on your mobile.
“One of the reasons they’ve had such a strong hold on the market since 2017 (is) all Android phones basically sold by Telstra or Optus in their retail shops had Google search engine pre-installed on that phone.
“In response to these Android phones having Google search engines on them, the companies Telstra and Optus received some Google advertising benefits.
“The ACCC looked into this, both Telstra and Optus finished selling phones with the Google search engine as the default setting on the 30th of June.”
How about not pre-installing Windows on laptops. That Windows tax annoys those that don't use the Windows operating system.
Plenty of other browsers out there.
Monopoly is just a symptom of lack of competition. Don't treat the symptom, cure the disease.
Time for open source software like Linux, I need to upgrade my stuff but REFUSE to because of MS, Google, Apple crap we are force to buy that take control over our data in their clouds which I refuse to partake in, still on Windows 10 and save everything to my own hard drives.
Right, because google has nothing connected to the whole android operating system at all. 🙃 Not even the google play store.
