"Jury's Epic Win: Google's App Store Monopoly Ruling Shakes Up the App Economy"
Google's app store has been deemed a monopoly and accused of engaging in anticompetitive behavior by a jury in a recent court case. The verdict raises questions about the app-store economy and may impact other lawsuits against Google. The case focused on whether Google's Android operating system allows for other app stores besides the Google Play store. The jury rejected Google's defense that it competes fiercely with other app stores. The verdict may lead to changes in the app-store economy, potentially allowing app developers to be freed from Google's billing system. Both Google and Apple are facing challenges to their app store commissions, which account for a significant portion of their revenue.
