South Korea Sues Google

Saturday, April 16, 2011

The top Internet search engine in South Korea asked the country's antitrust regulator to investigate whether Google restricts competition in the mobile search market. NHN Corporation filed the complaint with South Korea's Fair Trade Commission. They claim that Google restricts competition by imposing restrictions on local mobile service providers and smartphone manufacturers that have adopted its Android operating system. Google claims that it has done nothing wrong and that companies it partners with are free to decide which services they wish to include on their phones.

I'm sure Google gets sued all the time, so they aren't too worried. I agree that companies can choose what services to use on their phones, and why wouldn't you use Google? The largest and most popular search engine would definitely be my choice!
