The Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC)
investigated Google for allegedly blocking local smartphone makers from using
other operating systems.
The fine is the latest antitrust setback for
Google in South Korea. Earlier this month, parliament passed a bill to ban
major app store operators such as Google from forcing software developers to
use their payment systems and effectively stopping developers from charging
commission on in-app purchases.
KFTC said the fine could be the ninth-biggest
it has ever imposed.

comment on Tuesday. -Reuters
