Indian internet<\/a> start-ups have termed the recent changes made by Google<\/a> to its Android operating system and Play Store Billing policies as “ delaying tactics” that are “cosmetic in nature” as the search giant continues its appeal against the October order of the Competition Commission of India<\/a> (CCI). 谷歌是“同样的剧本”后,它在欧洲和韩国,是利用“漏洞”显示符合生效的订单在1月26日,开发商告诉等。这是SC后1月19日的最后期限延长了一个星期。 印度互联网初创企业称为最近更改了谷歌Android操作系统和打账单策略存储为“拖延战术”,“自然化妆品”的搜索巨头继续上诉的10月顺序印度竞争委员会(CCI)。
Google is following the 'same playbook' that it employed in Europe and South Korea and is exploiting “loopholes” to show compliance with the orders that were to come into effect on January 26, developers told ET. This was after the SC extended the January 19 deadline by a week.
On Wednesday, Google announced around five changes<\/a> to the way it operates Android and Google Play billing in India. India’s competition watchdog in its two rulings – one on October 20<\/a> an the second on October 25<\/a> which had directed the American company to make close to 20 changes in the operation of its services in India.
On January 19, the Supreme Court while hearing an appeal by Google refused the tech giant interim relief and directed the tech giant to comply with the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal’s (NCLAT) directive<\/a> of depositing 10% of the CCI imposed fine.

The SC, however, extended the deadline of the CCI by a week and asked the NCLAT to decide on Google’s appeal on merits by March 31.
“How can Google defy both CCI and Supreme Court,” asked Rohan Verma, CEO of MapMyIndia, a listed entity which competes with Google Maps<\/a>.
Pointing out that Google has listed out just a few points ( instead ) of following all 10 directives by CCI (in the Android order), “despite CCI’s directive, why is Google not allowing users to uninstall Google Maps and other apps and why is Google not allowing other app stores to be distributed through Google Play Store? ” he said.
MapMyIndia is officially a party to the matter being heard by the NCLAT.
PhonePe owned IndusOS, another firm which has become a party to the matter, did not have an immediate comment to offer.
In its order on Google Play Billing, CCI had asked Google to make close to about ten changes but the search giant indicated one change which pertains to opening user choice billing to all apps, in its announcement on Wednesday.
Snehil Khanor, Co-Founder & CEO of TrulyMadly.com is of the view that implementation of user choice billing is a direct violation of CCI order. Specifically, as Google will still be forcing developers to use its gateway to integrate with other payment gateways. It will also continue to charge 26% instead of 30% of the transaction value.
“All directives in combination were designed to ease the monopolistic grip of Google on India's digital ecosystem, but it seems like they are trying to defy the order and dilute the impact of the landmark CCI verdict as well as the honourable Supreme Court of India<\/a>,” Khanor said.
Homegrown internet entrepreneurs argue that by stalling the implementation of changes required by CCI, Google continues to “harm the Digital India<\/a> ecosystem” and should be held “accountable.” While some said Google has announced its intent to implement most of the important directives, others argued that all CCI mandates should be followed in “letter and spirit” for it to have a full impact.
Murugavel Janakiraman, CEO of BharatMatrimony pointed out that in an earlier blog post on September 2, last year Google had announced that a user choice billing pilot would mirror what Google tried to enforce in South Korea.
\"We urge the CCI to engage with app developers to see whether the supposed user choice (announced on Wednesday) is at all, an effective choice or another attempt by Google to circumvent the law,\" Janakiraman told ET.
Appeal to continue<\/strong>
The changes announced by Google on Wednesday, will allow OEMs to license individual Google apps for pre-installation on their devices. Earlier these apps were pre-installed for free with Android. Indian users will now have the option to choose their default search engine. Google is also updating its backend to allow partners to build non-compatible or forked variants of Android. User choice billing will be available to all apps and games starting next month, Google said.
Google however said that it will \"continue to respectfully appeal certain aspects of the CCI’s decisions\" in the interests of the larger ecosystem.
Some of the major changes directed by CCI require Google to not impose anti-steering provisions on app developers and not restrict them from communicating with their users to promote apps and offerings, in any manner. Google is yet to comply with these directives.
Google did not respond to email queries from ET.
Navkendar Singh, Associate Vice President, IDC India, said, Google has still not allowed third party app stores to be integrated within the Play Store, and the onus of discoverability still remains on the app developers. “They will now have to go to the OEMs (handset makers) and ask their app to be pre-installed, because now they are not mandated by Google to pre-install Google apps,’ he said.
Google has also not provided any clarity on the CCI’s directive to set out a clear and transparent policy on data that is collected on its platform, use of such data by the platform and also the potential and actual sharing of such data with app developers or other entities, including related entities.
“This just shows that Google is procedurally claiming to comply with the order but not fully complying as such. I think they will not fully comply and continue to challenge and in the meantime try to seek some sort of dilution in the order either at NCLAT stage or SC,” said Salman Waris, founder of law firm TechLegis.

公司认为,Google使用“拖延战术”,政策调整的化妆品在自然界中
谷歌是“同样的剧本”后,它在欧洲和韩国,是利用“漏洞”显示符合生效的订单在1月26日,开发商告诉等。这是SC后1月19日的最后期限延长了一个星期。
周三,谷歌宣布大约五变化Android的运作方式和谷歌在印度打账单。两个裁决——印度的竞争监管机构一个在10月20日一个的第二个10月25日曾执导的美国公司近20在印度的变化其服务的操作。
然而,SC CCI的期限延长了一个星期,要求NCLAT决定由3月31日谷歌的吸引力的优点。
“谷歌怎么能违抗CCI和最高法院,“问Rohan Verma MapMyIndia的CEO,上市实体竞争谷歌地图。
指出,谷歌已经列出了几个点(而不是)的所有10个指令通过CCI (Android顺序),“尽管CCI的指令,为什么谷歌不允许用户卸载谷歌地图和其他应用程序和为什么谷歌不允许其他应用程序商店分发通过谷歌玩商店吗?”他说。
MapMyIndia正式一方被NCLAT听到。
PhonePe IndusOS所有,另一家公司已成为一方,没有立即置评。
的顺序在谷歌打账单,CCI要求谷歌做出接近大约十改变,但这个搜索巨头表示一个变化,属于开放用户选择计费所有应用程序,在周三宣布。
Snehil Khanor, TrulyMadly.com的创始人兼首席执行官认为,用户选择计费的实现直接违反CCI秩序。具体地说,谷歌仍将迫使开发人员使用网关与其他支付网关集成。它还将继续收取26%而不是30%的交易价值。
“所有指令相结合是为了减轻谷歌的垄断控制印度的数字生态系统,但似乎他们正试图挑战秩序和稀释的影响具有里程碑意义的CCI裁决以及尊贵印度最高法院”,Khanor说。
本土互联网企业家认为,拖延的实现变化需要通过CCI,谷歌继续”伤害数字印度生态系统”,应该“负责。“虽然说,谷歌宣布其意图来实现一些最重要的指令,其他人则认为所有CCI要求应遵循“信,精神”有一个全面影响。
首席执行官Murugavel Janakiraman BharatMatrimony这样指出,9月2日早些时候的一篇博客文章中,去年谷歌宣布用户选择计费飞行员将镜子谷歌试图执行在韩国。
“我们敦促CCI与应用程序开发人员是否应该用户选择(周三宣布),选择一个有效的或另一方谷歌试图规避法律,“Janakiraman告诉等。
继续上诉
谷歌周三宣布的变化,将使oem许可个人Google apps预装在他们的设备上。早些时候,这些应用程序是预先安装的免费Android。印度用户将可以选择选择默认的搜索引擎。谷歌也更新后端允许合作伙伴建立不相容或分叉的Android的变体。用户选择计费将所有应用程序和游戏从下个月开始,谷歌表示。
然而谷歌表示,它将“继续恭敬地吸引力CCI的某些方面的决策”的利益更大的生态系统。
一些主要的变化由CCI要求谷歌anti-steering条款强加给应用程序开发人员和不限制他们与用户交流促进应用程序和服务,以任何方式。谷歌还没有遵守这些指令。
谷歌没有回应电子邮件查询等。
副校长Navkendar辛格,IDC印度,说,谷歌仍不允许第三方应用商店被集成在游戏商店,和可发现性的责任仍在应用程序开发者。“他们现在必须去oem(手机制造商)和问他们的应用程序是预先安装的,因为现在他们不是规定谷歌预装谷歌应用程序,”他说。
谷歌也没有提供任何明确CCI的指令设定一个明确的和透明的政策在其平台上收集的数据,使用这些数据的平台,也可能和实际的共享这些数据与应用程序开发人员或其他实体,包括相关的实体。
“这只是表明谷歌程序声称符合订单但没有完全服从。我认为他们不会完全服从并继续挑战,同时试图寻求某种稀释的顺序在NCLAT阶段或SC,“萨尔曼·瓦里斯- TechLegis律师事务所的创始人说。
