In its first public reaction, tech major Google has termed CCI’s antitrust directives a blow to the digital adoption in the country. In what appeared to be a bid to counter CCI’s claims, Google said that Android was key to India’s mobile and Internet growth story. Citing Android’s ‘free open source’ nature, the tech major claimed that it has helped device manufacturers make smartphones ‘more affordable by a vast margin.’
