Google Sued by Korean Search Engines
Korean search engines have sued Google for anti-trust activities. The owners of these search engines contend that Google is blocking their activities in Android-enabled smartphones. These search engines are unable to function on Android phones and they say that it is difficult for them compete with Google because of this.
Lois Kim, spokesperson for Google in Korea responded to the suit filed by Korean search engines, saying "Android is an open platform, and carriers and partners are free to decide which applications and services to include."
Interestingly the Korean search engines companies have themselves been accused of anti-trust practices earlier.
Earlier, Microsoft had raised similar issues to those raised by Korean search engines and accused Google of manipulating search engine results.
