Android is expected to impose a multi-billion-euro penalty against Alphabet 's Google for hampering competition by promoting its own services on the Android mobile operating system. “Hence, I think separating Google Play from the rest of Google’s Digital Life services would have very little impact as users would simply download and install them from the store,” Windsor said. The move comes next week after the commission's € 2.4bn ($ 2.4bn ) fine that Google was forced to pay for favouring its shopping service over those of its competitors. While regulators may also attempt to force the company to open up Google to promote rivals it is suggested that Google 's position is now so entrenched that unbundling Digital Life and Digital Life services would have little impact on user adoption.
