The EU last month proposed a fine of €2.4 billion ($2.7 billion) on Google for allegedly indulging in anti-competitive practices in the region pertaining to shopping results. It is now being said that the EU is considering slapping another fine on Google, but this time with regards to the Android platform.

This is in response to a complaint filed by some industry rivals citing Google’s abuse of power in the mobile industry. It was alleged that Google was disallowing manufacturers from creating customized or forked versions of Android.

Google is also believed to have threatened to limit Play Store access to manufacturers if they didn’t bundle Chrome and Google Search apps on their devices. Further, some mobile networks and manufacturers were apparently paid to only use Google Search on their devices, adding fuel to the fire.

“A decision would come none too soon. Google is hurting Android users, including by surreptitiously commandeering ever-increasing amounts of personal data” said Thomas Vinje, a lawyer for one of the original complainants, FairSearch.

It is being said that the proposed fine here could be much bigger compared to what we saw last month, causing some serious worry for Google. The fine, however, is only partly a concern for Google. The company will also have to contemplate changing up some of Android’s core features in order to adhere to the EU’s ruling.

Microsoft went through a similar ordeal several years ago when it was forced to offer customers a browser choice on Windows and also to unbundle Windows Media Player from Windows operating systems. Microsoft even created a separate version of Windows with these changes specifically for the EU markets.
