New Delhi. If you watch smart TV, then now your experience is going to change. Because, Google’s monopoly in the smart TV market is over. Actually, Google will no longer be able to force its own operating system on Android TV in India. This rule has been passed by the competition regulator of India. Actually, Google has set up its 4 -year -old Android TV case with CCI for Rs 20.24 crore. The company was filed for the United Business Practice in the Android TV segment.
What will be the effect on users?
Earlier, most of the TV apps, systems and play stores were already installed, but after this decision, it is not necessary now. With the end of this monopoly of Google in the Smart TV market, consumers who like Google’s Android operating system and Play Store, now have to know from retail vendors and brands that which TV it is in and in which TV? Because, now other operating systems and app stores will be allowed to partner with smart TV manufacturers. Currently, not all apps are available at all applications stores. Google Play and Amazon App Store provide the most apps for TV users.

2 Indian lawyers had filed a complaint against this monopoly of Google that Google had closed the way for small players in the smart TV sector. Because, Google is forcing companies making smart TVs to use its system and app.
Due to this, roads were being closed for other small developers. In this case, the CCI, while delivering the verdict, considered it to be ‘misuse of domination position’ and fined Google $ 2.38 million (about Rs 20 crore).
