In an article discussing the impact of Google’s EU antitrust fine on developers, smartphone makers and users, Mishi Choudhary was quoted as saying, “It’s a big number and if it continues to be a percentage of the revenue, it will be a number that gets everyone’s attention. But this will be appealed by Google/Alpahebet and after years of litigation, it will get settled to some smaller amount. EU is clearly saying that it wishes to build policy against the platform companies. No conceivable US or Indian Govt. will ever do it. The despotic regimes like Russian, Iran and China build their own platforms and subject them to their laws. No imminent impact on users.”
