I-Google inezinkinga ezinkulu eYurophu, njengoba iMicrosoft yenza eminyakeni eyishumi edlule. I-European Union ingase icabange ukuthi i-Google yenze ukwephulwa komthetho yedwa mayelana nenjini yokusesha kanye ne-Android. Isinqumo sizokwenziwa ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka, kodwa ingabe i-Google inalo ithuba lokubalekela?

Abaningi bethu bangasho ukuthi i-Google iyinjini yokusesha ehamba phambili ku-inthanethi. Kodwa futhi kuyiqiniso impela ukuthi sizame abambalwa kakhulu. Phakathi kwezinye izinto, ngoba i-Google yayihlala ivela uma sifuna ukwenza usesho. Lokhu akwenzeki ngenhlanhla, i-Google yenze isiqiniseko sokuthi injini yokusesha ikhona kuyo yonke imikhiqizo yayo. Inkinga ukuthi, uma omunye wale mikhiqizo usatshalaliswa phakathi kweningi labasebenzisi be-inthanethi emhlabeni, bangakubeka icala ngokubusa yedwa. Sisho ukuthini? I-Android iyisistimu yokusebenza yeselula esetshenziswa kakhulu emhlabeni. Isatshalaliswa yi-Google. Futhi kuvela ukuthi ku-Android, lapho ama-smartphones noma amaphilisi eqinisekisiwe yi-Google ne-Google Apps, injini yokusesha ehlanganisiwe yi-Google. Ngakho-ke, e-European Union, i-Google ithathwa njengesebenza ngendlela yokuzimela. Njengoba benohlelo lokusebenza olusatshalaliswe kakhulu emhlabeni, bafaka injini yabo yokusesha kuyo, futhi bathole inzuzo ngaphezu kwezinye izinjini zokusesha.
Lokhu bekungeke kube njalo uma abakhiqizi be-smartphone benquma ukusuka ku-Google, besebenzisa i-Android mahhala njengoba injalo, kodwa ngaphandle kwezinhlelo zokusebenza zayo ezifana ne-Gmail, isitolo se-Google Play kanye nenkampani. Inkinga ukuthi i-Google ihlezi izishaya indiva lezi zinkampani, ezigcina ngokuyeka. Kungakho kubonakale kubalulekile kithi ukuthi iCyanogen ilwele i-Android ngaphandle kwe-Google. Okwakubonakala kusobala ukuthi ngesinye isikhathi wayezobhekana namacala okubusa yedwa. E-United States bebengeke bayigxeke kangako inkampani nayo eseMelika. Kodwa okufanayo akunjalo eYurophu.
Ingabe i-Google inalo ithuba lokubaleka?
U-Ioannis Lianos, uprofesa womthetho wokuncintisana womhlaba e-University College London, ubefuna ukukhuluma ngamathuba i-Google enawo ngekusasa. Kakade eminyakeni eyishumi edlule iMicrosoft ibhekane nento efanayo, ngeziphequluli zayo ze-Internet Explorer kanye ne-Windows. I-Internet Explorer kwakuyisiphequluli esiyinhloko kuwo wonke amakhompyutha e-Windows. I-European Union yaya kuMicrosoft ngaleso sikhathi, futhi iqiniso liwukuthi lolu phenyo lufana kakhulu nolwenkampani yakwaRedmond ngaleso sikhathi. Ngokuqondile, kukhulunywa ngophenyo lweminyaka emihlanu. Uprofesa uyaqinisekisa ukuthi uma “bethuthuka ngezikhundla ezisemthethweni ngemva kweminyaka emihlanu yophenyo, kungenxa yokuthi banombono ocace kakhulu wecala. Lokhu kusho ukuthi i-European Union ayifuni ukuvala icala, kodwa kunalokho ifuna ukwenza isinqumo sokwephula umthetho.
Uma izindleko ezisemthethweni sezifakiwe, i-Google inezinyanga ezi-3 zokuphendula futhi icele ukulalelwa, nakuba kunoma yikuphi isinqumo sizothathwa ekupheleni konyaka. Okubi kakhulu ngale nkampani ukuthi ingase ibhekane nenhlawulo efinyelela ezigidini eziyizinkulungwane eziyisithupha zamaRandi, kanye nezinguquko kunqubomgomo yayo yokusebenza maqondana ne-Android kanye nenjini yokusesha.
