Google to charge Android OEMs up to $40 per device for apps
- Monday | 22nd October, 2018
Companies can offset the charge, which applies to a suite of apps including the Google Play app store, Gmail and Google Maps, by placing Google’s search and Chrome internet browser in a prominent position. Under that arrangement, Google would give the device maker a portion of ad revenue it generates through search and Chrome. The fee can be as low as $2.50 and rises depending on the country and device size, the person said. BRUSSELS/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) – Google will charge hardware firms up to $40 per device to use its apps under a new licensing system to replace one that the European Union this year deemed anti-competitive, a person familiar with the matter said on Friday. It levied a record $5 billion fine, which Google has appealed, and threatened additional penalties unless the company ended its illegal practices.
