WASHINGTON, Sept 29 — Apple and other smartphone makers turned down revenue-sharing agreements that would have helped Microsoft’s Bing search engine and instead kept Google as the default search engine, a Microsoft executive testified on Thursday.
DOJ accuses Google of paying US$10 billion annually to wireless carriers and smartphone makers to ensure that Google search is the default on their devices. The government argues Google has abused its monopoly in search and some aspects of search advertising. Under Justice Department questioning, Tinter testified that Bing was not the default installed in any Android or Apple smartphone sold in the US in the past decade, even though Microsoft would at times offer to give more than 100 per cent of revenue — or more — to its partner.
