Query:
Hi I'm doing a story about a challenge to Google's Play store.
Looking for expert quotes by email. Here are my questions: 1.)
is the google play store monopoly bad? Why 2.) what alternatives
could work in the west 3.) what are the benefit of the play
store? Is this the beginning of the end of Google's monopoly?
Experts weigh in. Here's the background: The founders of dozens
of Indian startups -- including MakeMyTrip, PolicyBazaar, and
Sharechat -- have joined Sharma to explore the creation of a
formal industry alliance, TechCrunch's sources told. The group
held a meeting on Tuesday, as per ET Tech, to discuss the
possibility of a rival app store that would promote the Indian
app ecosystem. It even wants the government to oversee and
ensure "app neutrality" along the lines of net neutrality
guidelines, though no formal communication has been made with
the authorities as of yet.
