After Turkey's competition board ruled that Google's changes to the contract were unacceptable, Google has informed Turkish business partners that it will not be able to work with them to develop new Android phones that will be released in Turkey, according to Reuters.
Turkey's competition board imposed a fine of 93 million lire (approximately $ 17.4 million) on Google in September 2018 for selling mobile software in violation of competition laws and leaving Google with 6 months to make changes.
Turkey's competition board ruled on November 7 that the changes Google made in accordance with the commission's requirements in its contract with business partners were not enough, as Google still does not allow modifications to the default search engine.
Google said that "consumers can purchase their existing devices and use their applications normally. Other Google services will not be affected." Google is currently working with Turkish authorities to resolve this issue.
Turkey's competition board says it is asking Google to modify all software distribution agreements to allow consumers to choose different search engines in its Android phone operating system. It fined Google 0.05% of its daily income until all requirements were met. Google was given 60 days to solve the problem.
