The legal action by Google against the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) came after the KFTC decided in September last year to fine Google 207.4 billion won ($173 million) for obstructing local smartphone makers, such as Samsung Electronics<\/a> and LG Electronics<\/a>, from using operating systems developed by rivals.
According to the sources, the suit was filed on January 24 in an attempt to annul the KFTC's decision to impose the fine and order Google LLC, Google Asia Pacific<\/a> and Google Korea to take corrective steps to ban its practice of forcing local smartphone makers not to use operating systems developed by rivals, reports Yonhap news agency.
The KFTC said Google has hampered market competition by requiring smartphone makers to enter into an \"anti-fragmentation agreement (AFA)\" when they sign key contracts with Google over app store licenses and early access to OS.
Under the AFA, device makers were not permitted to install modified versions of Android OS, known as \"Android forks,\" on their smartphones, smartwatches<\/a> and smart TV<\/a> products. They also were not allowed to develop their own Android forks.
This practice has helped Google cement its market dominance in the mobile platform market and undermined innovation in the development of new operating systems for smart devices<\/a>, according to the regulator.
Appealing the regulator's decision, Google said Android's compatibility program has spurred incredible hardware and software innovation, and brought enormous success to Korean OEMs and developers, leading to \"greater choice, quality and better user experience for Korean consumers.\"
The KFTC's decision \"ignores these benefits and will undermine the advantages enjoyed by consumers\", the tech giant said.
The tech giant separately applied for an injunction with the Seoul High Court on the decision, of which the trial will begin on February 25.<\/body>","next_sibling":[{"msid":89449164,"title":"SoftBank's choice of New York for Arm listing deals a blow to London","entity_type":"ARTICLE","link":"\/news\/softbanks-choice-of-new-york-for-arm-listing-deals-a-blow-to-london\/89449164","category_name":null,"category_name_seo":"telecomnews"}],"related_content":[],"msid":89449321,"entity_type":"ARTICLE","title":"Google sues S.Korean regulator to overturn $173 mn fine","synopsis":"The KFTC said Google has hampered market competition by requiring smartphone makers to enter into an \"anti-fragmentation agreement (AFA)\" when they sign key contracts with Google over app store licenses and early access to OS.","titleseo":"telecomnews\/google-sues-s-korean-regulator-to-overturn-173-mn-fine","status":"ACTIVE","authors":[],"Alttitle":{"minfo":""},"artag":"IANS","artdate":"2022-02-09 13:14:21","lastupd":"2022-02-09 13:17:28","breadcrumbTags":["google","android","samsung electronics","google asia pacific","lg electronics","S.Korean regulator","devices","smartphone maker","smartwatches","smart TV"],"secinfo":{"seolocation":"telecomnews\/google-sues-s-korean-regulator-to-overturn-173-mn-fine"}}" data-authors="[" "]" data-category-name="" data-category_id="" data-date="2022-02-09" data-index="article_1">

韩国公平交易委员会表示,谷歌已经阻碍了市场竞争要求智能手机制造商进入一个“分割协议(AFA)“当他们与谷歌签订重要合同在app store许可证和早期进入操作系统。
阿发下,设备制造商不允许安装Android操作系统的修改版本,称为“Android叉,”在他们的智能手机,smartwatches和智能电视产品。他们也不允许开发自己的Android叉。
这种做法帮助谷歌在移动平台市场巩固其市场主导地位和破坏了创新发展的新的智能操作系统设备根据监管机构。
谷歌吸引监管机构的决定说,Android的硬件和软件兼容性计划刺激了不可思议的创新,和给韩国厂商和开发者带来了巨大成功,导致“更大的选择,韩国消费者的质量和更好的用户体验。”
韩国公平交易委员会的决定“忽略了这些好处,将破坏消费者享有的优势”,这家科技巨头说。
科技巨头分别申请禁令与首尔高等法院的决定,其中的审判将在2月25日开始。
