Iningi lemali, Isivumelwano esingu-630 samaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-700Lezi zimali zizokwabelwa esikhwameni sokukhokha ngqo sabasebenzisi abahlangabezana nezimfuneko ezibekwe yinkantolo. Inani elisele lizogcinelwa izinhlawulo, izindleko zomthetho, kanye nezinye izindleko ezifakwe yizifundazwe nezindawo ezibambe iqhaza enkantolo.
Leli cala linezela ohlwini olukhulayo lwe uphenyo lokulwa nokungathembani olubhekiswe kumapulatifomu amakhulu obuchwepheshe Kokubili e-United States kanye nase-European Union, lapho iKhomishini yaseYurophu isivele iqapha eduze izinhlelo zokusebenza ezivaliwe kanye nezimali ezifunwa yizinkampani ezifana ne-Google, i-Apple, noma i-Meta.
Kungani kwafinyelelwa esivumelwaneni?
Umsuka wengxabano ulele ku- icala elifakwe ngabameli jikelele bezifundazwe ezingu-50 zase-U.S., iSifunda saseColumbia kanye nezindawo ezininganaabasola i-Google ngokwephula imithetho yokuncintisana emakethe yezinhlelo zokusebenza zeselula.
Umshushisi uthi inkampani iqinisekise isikhundla sayo esivelele ku-Android ukuvimbela ezinye izitolo zezinhlelo zokusebenza ukuthi zingancintisani enkundleni yokudlala elinganayo futhi kuphoqelele ngempumelelo ukusetshenziswa kwesango lazo lokukhokha lokuthenga ngaphakathi nohlelo.
Lowo modeli, ngokusho kwabashushisi, ngabe uvumele i-Google faka imali efinyelela ku-30% kukho konke ukuthengiselanaLokhu zindleko ekugcineni kwafakwa entengweni yokugcina yemikhiqizo yedijithali. Ngenxa yalokho, abasebenzisi bagcina bekhokha kakhulu imidlalo, okubhaliselwe, noma izengezo okungenzeka ukuthi bezishibhile endaweni evulekile nencintisanayo.
I-Google, ngakolunye uhlangothi, Iyaphika ukwephula umthetho futhi ithi uhlelo lwayo lwe-ecosystem lunikeza ukuphepha kanye nenani kubathuthukisi nabasebenzisi.Kodwa-ke, inkampani ikhethe ukuxazulula leli cala ngalesi sivumelwano, ngaleyo ndlela igweme inqubo yezomthetho ende futhi engase ibize kakhulu ngokwezomnotho nangokwedumela.

Idokhumenti yesivumelwano ichaza ukuthi Imali engu-$700 million ihlukaniswe ngamabhulokhi amabili amakhuluCishe izigidi ezingu-630 zigcinelwe izinkokhelo eziqondile kubathengi kanti cishe izigidi ezingu-70 zibekelwe izijeziso, izindleko zomthetho kanye nezinye izimangalo zezikhungo zezifundazwe.
Isisekelo secala ukuthi i-Google kuthiwa ilawula ukusatshalaliswa kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ku-Android kanye nokucutshungulwa kwezinkokhelo ngaphakathi kwezinhlelo zokusebenzaokwenza kube nzima kwabanye abaqhubi ukuthi banikeze ezinye izitolo noma izindlela zokukhokha ezinezindleko eziphansi.
Ngokulawula kokubili isitolo kanye nendlela yokukhokha, inkampani Ithole isikhundla samandla okubeka imigomo yayo kubathuthukisi nabasebenzisiAbashushisi basikisela ukuthi abathuthukisi abaningi bezinhlelo zokusebenza baphoqelekile ukwamukela imithetho ye-Google ukuze bafinyelele isisekelo esikhulu sabasebenzisi be-Android.
Njengengxenye yesivumelwano, ngaphezu kwesinxephezelo sezezimali, I-Google izibophezele ekubuyekezeni ezinye zezinqubomgomo zayo ku-Google Play ukuze ukwenza kube lula ezinye izindlela zokukhokha kanye nokukhuthaza ukuncintisana okukhulu.
