The watchdog has directed its investigative arm to complete its investigation and submit a report within 60 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to an order passed on Tuesday, the Competition Commission of India or CCI was of the prima facie view that Google is dominant in the market for licensable smart TV device operating systems in India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The watchdog said that based on its preliminary estimation of the market shares of different licensable smart TV operating systems, it appears that the market share of Google\u2019s Android TV is almost 90%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antitrust lawyers Kshitiz Arya and Purushottam Anand had filed the case in May last year alleging Google of abusing its dominant position in the smart television market and for entering into anti-competitive agreements with Xiaomi and TCL.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The CCI also said that the agreements that smart TV makers sign with Google to use its operating system makes the pre-installation of Google applications mandatory which, prima facie, is an \u201cunfair condition\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Google submitted to the commission that an app store on smart TVs is an unimportant consideration since users only install a select few apps on their smart TVs, the CCI concluded that an app store on smart TVs appears to be a \u201cmust have\u201d service to meet the dynamic needs of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cci.gov.in\/sites\/default\/files\/19-of-2020.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">order<\/a>, Google had also submitted to the commission that it operates in a very competitive smart TV market since competition in the segment also includes on-demand video providers through smart TVs, streaming sticks, set-top boxes and other connected devices.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the CCI said that Google\u2019s assertions were \u201cmisplaced\u201d since the other entities do not fit into the \u2018licensable smart TV operating systems\u2019 market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe emerging smart TV sector in India is thriving, due in part to Google\u2019s free licensing model and Android TV competes with numerous well-established TV OSs such as FireOS, Tizen, and WebOS,\u201d a Google spokesperson said on the development. \u201cWe are confident that our smart TV licensing practices are in compliance with all applicable competition laws.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The complainants had said that Google imposed restrictions on smart TV makers who use its operating system by bundling its own services into the TVs, preventing manufacturers from building smartphones or smart TVs with a \u201cforked\u201d Android operating system and by not offering its services on such software.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They had also alleged that Google has a market share of 75% or more in the licensable smart TV device operating systems market and also has dominance in the smart TV app store market. On top of that, they argued that six out of the top ten smart TV manufacturers use Google\u2019s operating system, effectively establishing its dominance in the market.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/entrackr.com\/2021\/06\/cci-orders-probe-into-google-for-antitrust-practices-with-android-tv\/\">CCI orders probe into Google for antitrust practices with Android TV<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India\u2019s competition watchdog has ordered a probe into G [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3777,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,5],"tags":[441,442],"class_list":["post-3779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-industry-watch","category-news-articles","tag-antitrust","tag-google"],"blocksy_meta":{"styles_descriptor":{"styles":{"desktop":"","tablet":"","mobile":""},"google_fonts":[],"version":6}},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
