The giant search engine Google has lost an anti-monopoly appeal in Russia against ruling related to its Android mobile OS. The complaint was brought against Google last February by competing search engine Yandex Russian Counterpart of Google which had argued that Google broke competition rules by requiring handset manufacturers to pre-install its apps on Android phones and tablets. The Moscow Arbitration Court on Monday ruled that Google had violated its dominant position with the help of its free open source mobile platform “Android” by forcing its own apps and services like Youtube, Google Map and others, on users.
