Buying Motorola will not affect the competition of the Android market - Eric Schmidt

Buying the search giant Motorola Mobility and, most importantly, 17,000 patents of mobile technologies, has allowed Google to take a more advantageous position compared to other players in the market of smartphones, tablets, etc. Earlier, Google’s attorney David Drummond accused Microsoft, Apple and Oracle of organizing a campaign against Android, each in their own field, with the goal of increasing prices for Android devices and thereby reducing their sales.



A little later, Gartner analyst Michael Gartenberg became widely known, who said that Google’s purchase of Motorola Mobility’s $ 12.5 billion division was a “nightmare” for phone manufacturers using the Android platform. Such companies Samsung and HTC have a wide range of devices running on Android, and now Motorola will be the first to get access to all of Google’s new developments, which will kill competition in the market.

Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, finally expressed his official opinion on this issue in a television interview on October 1. He noted that the Android ecosystem is a priority, and his company is not going to take any steps either for Motorola or for anyone else in order to somehow influence the market dynamics. "" We need tough and strong competition among all participants of the Android market, we will not play pets "."
