Judge James Donato on Wednesday spoke about dismantling the monopoly of Alphabet Inc's (NASDAQ:GOOG) (NASDAQ:GOOGL) Google's Android app store in the ongoing Epic v. Google case.

在进行Epic v. Google案件中,法官James Donato周三谈到了如何拆除Alphabet Inc(纳斯达克证券代码:GOOG)(纳斯达克证券代码:GOOGL)Google Android应用商店的垄断。

What Happened: Following a federal jury's unanimous ruling eight months ago that Google's Android store is an illegal monopoly in the Epic v. Google case, Judge Donato made his intentions clear during the final hearing on remedies, reported The Verge.

发生了什么:八个月前,联邦陪审团一致裁定Google的Android商店在史诗对谷歌案中是非法的垄断地位,掌握处理结果的Donato法官在补救方案的最后听证会上明确表态,据The Verge报道。

While Google argued that opening its store to rival stores would be too much work or cost too much, Donato has dismissed these claims. "We're going to tear the barriers down, it's just the way it's going to happen," he stated.

虽然Google主张将其商店开放给竞争对手商店将会有太多工作量或成本,但Donato驳斥了这些说法。他说:"我们将推翻障碍,这就是事情的发展方向"。

Adding, "The world that exists today is the product of monopolistic conduct. That world is changing." Donato will issue his final ruling in a little over two weeks.

他还补充说:"今日存在的世界是垄断行为的产物。这个世界正在改变。"Donato将在稍超两周的时间内发表他的最终裁决。

While Epic won the jury trial last December, the judge has been deciding on how to rectify the damage caused by Google's monopoly.

尽管史诗公司赢得了去年12月的陪审团庭审,但法官一直在决定如何纠正谷歌垄断造成的损害。

Epic has proposed that Google should be forced to allow rival stores to exist within its own Google Play Store and give them access to every Google Play app.

史诗公司提议强制谷歌允许竞争对手商店存在于自己的Google Play商店,并让它们访问每一个Google Play应用程序。

Both parties agreed that opening up the Play Store is feasible, but disagreed on the timeline, cost, and whether Google should be able to review every app in every rival store before allowing them into Google Play.

双方都同意开放Play商店是可行的,但对时间表,费用以及谷歌是否应该审核竞争对手商店中每个应用程序的意见并不一致。

Donato plans to ban any discriminatory behavior by Google towards rival app stores, including human reviews.

Donato计划禁止谷歌对竞争对手应用商店的任何歧视行为,包括人工审核。

He also proposed the creation of a "technical compliance and monitoring committee" to oversee the technical details and report back to the court every 90 days.

他还提议成立一个技术合规和监测委员会来监督技术细节,并每90天向法院报告。

Why It Matters: In an interview, Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeny compared his company's legal battles with Google and Apple.

为什么它很重要:在一次采访中,史诗游戏公司CEO Tim Sweeney将他公司与谷歌和苹果的法律斗争进行了比较。

At the time he stated, "I would say Apple was ice and Google was fire," adding that Apple's "antitrust trickery" was contained within the company, while Google's practices were more outward.

当时他说:"我会说苹果是冰,谷歌是火",并补充说苹果的"反垄断技巧"只在公司内部,而谷歌的行为更加外向。

Sweney had also earlier stated that the trial validated his suspicions regarding Google's behind-the-scenes practices. "It was really, really interesting to see that my understandings of what Google was doing behind the scenes were actually true."

Sweeney此前曾表示,该审判证实了他对谷歌幕后行为的猜测。"看到谷歌幕后的行为方式真的非常有趣。"
