Google's Monopoly Rent and Impact on Kuku FM
Google's dominance in the smartphone market through Android has enabled it to enforce monopolistic practices on the Play Store. By pre-installing its suite of apps on most devices, Google exerts control over app distribution, leading to concerns about unfair practices like charging a 30% commission on in-app payments. Kuku FM, with over 10 million downloads on the Play Store, faced the repercussions of Google's monopoly rent, potentially losing significant revenue to service fees imposed by the tech giant.
