EU charges Google over Android

"Google pursues an overall strategy on mobile devices to protect and expand its dominant position in internet search," EU competition commissioner Margrethe Vestager said at a press conference.

“It is doing so by imposing unjustified restrictions and conditions on manufacturers as well as on mobile network operators.”
