Google will charge Android phone makers to pre-install its apps on devices sold in Europe

Following EU’s antitrust cases against Google, the company introduces new paid licenses for manufacturers who don't want to pre-install Google apps (that generate revenue for Google).

Google has made its point very bold and clear. Europe can’t selectively pre-install some of the Google apps to enjoy billion dollar services for free and fine Google with $5 BILLION.

From now on, either pre-install all Google apps for free, or install selective apps with paid licences, or simply don’t use any app, not even the Play Store.
