" Apple tax " and " Google tax " made many software developers sneer, but they are not strong enough and can never find an effective solution. However, after EU issued a series of fines, many countries began to follow suit, and India has "strike" with Google. What does this mean?
Google received fines one after another
India is the country that loves to follow the trend. After the EU, Brazil and other countries issued fines one after another, it also started to attack Google. issued two fines in just one week. The first time was US$162 million, close to RMB1.2 billion, and soon issued a fine of US$113 million, equivalent to RMB800 million.
The reason for Google to be fined is its "monopolization". I believe India is "decisive" to rectify Google this time. You should know that the share of the Android system in the Indian market accounts for more than 95%, so the entire market can be completely monopolized by Google. Although it has issued a corresponding fine before, it is a drop in the bucket in the face of the benefits it can obtain.
Google system's status in China is declining, and many authorizations have been relaxed, but they are not so polite about the Indian market that has completely formed a monopoly. It can be said that they are becoming more and more "arrogant". They continue to use their own technological advantages and use the Android system as the benchmark to form a monopoly purpose in various industries.
India finally had such an opportunity and would definitely "restrain" it. After two consecutive fines, India also proposed 8 rectification measures and required it to be completed within three months. At the same time, it also hopes to liberalize third-party payment services. Obviously, this is just the beginning, and Google will face more trouble in the future.
If India's "monopoly behavior" of sanctions on Google takes effect, it will inevitably trigger a series of chain reactions. After all, the infamous "Google tax" is no less than the "Apple tax". Although it has been improved accordingly in the Chinese market, it does not have its own operating system overseas, so it is probably not easy for these two companies to compromise.
Android system has always been forced to use internal applications, which has also led to a lot of data being taken away from their official position. Some taxes can be said to be unable to escape. This situation has been criticized, but in the face of huge interests, Google does not care about the so-called reputation at all, but this time it is difficult for Google to get away with it.
In order to prevent the monopoly of Apple's , after repeatedly issuing fines, the EU directly upgraded the fine method and no longer announced the amount specifically. Once Apple violated the rules again, it will directly pay the fine at 10% of the total revenue that year. Such a huge fine cannot be sustained, and Cook had to compromise on the replacement of the charging port and liberalize the third-party payment platform.
Will Google compromise? If it were placed in the past, Google might not care about it at all. After all, such a small amount of fines are not much for them. If they can continue to monopolize the market, the benefits will be more. But now the market environment is completely different, and the disadvantages of the Android system are fully visible.
Previously, there were only IOS systems and Android systems on the market. Apple focused on the high-end field, while Android has always focused on the mid- and low-end field. The two have always been free from interfering with each other. Therefore, Google has not put much effort into system optimization and does not care about the suggestions put forward by mobile phone manufacturers.
This also directly led to the fact that after decades of optimization, the system lag still did not solve the problem of system lag, which was destined to be inseparable from the high-end. The birth of the Hongmeng system directly revealed the fact that Google's technology was backward. The Hongmeng system had an experience better than the Android system as soon as it was released. The most important thing was to solve the system fluency problem.
Unfortunately, Hongmeng is only used on Huawei mobile , so the ecosystem construction is not perfect enough, and it still uses Android-compatible applications, which will take a long time to layout. After all, the global users of Android system have exceeded 2 billion, and it is not that easy to catch up.
But this time, Google will definitely be restrained after being fined one after another. Otherwise, if all countries follow the example, it will be a little bit of money. Once it affects the reputation of the company, it will be difficult to recover later. At this stage, US companies are at the critical point, and Google can only compromise at this critical moment.
The era of monopoly of the market by Apple and Google is destined to end. This is something that all countries are urgently planning. If you don’t want to suffer more unnecessary trouble, you can only make rectifications as required. After all, there are already substitutable technologies at this stage. What do you think about this?
