It's not a search monopoly, it's an Android monopoly. And they're abusing that monopoly to increase their market share in search.
You're looking at the wrong monopoly!
You're looking at the wrong monopoly!
'apple has a monopoly on the iphone'
'GM has a monopoly on cadillac'
'BMW has a monopoly on the 3-series'
Of course they have a 'monopoly' on android, android is their product. Android has captured 64%[0] of the smartphone market in russia, this is again not a monopoly. A monopoly would capture 100% of the market, thats the definition of a monopoly.
I'm eager to hear what market Google has captured 100% of, because its not search or smartphones
