Fed’s Powell opens door to potential rate cuts at Jackson Hole
Investing.com -- In a recent ruling on Friday, an appeals court in India sided with the country’s antitrust regulator, the Competition Commission of India (CCI), asserting that Google’s app store billing policy was unjust and restrictive towards developers. This ruling comes as a blow for Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Inc., Google’s parent company.
The CCI had previously, in October 2022, instructed the American tech behemoth not to show bias against apps utilizing third-party billing or payment-processing services on its Play Store. Google was also penalized with a hefty fine of 9.4 billion rupees ($110 million) by the regulator.
The National Companies Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT), however, decided to reduce Google’s penalty to 2.2 billion rupees. Despite the reduction, the NCLAT upheld the CCI’s allegation that Google was leveraging its dominant position on the Android mobile app store in an abusive manner. As of now, a comprehensive copy of the NCLAT’s decision is still expected.
