- Abstract
- This paper introduces the decision rendered by the Korea Fair Trade Commission regarding the Google Play Store Case in April
2023. Google Play Store dominates the market for Android-based app stores both domestically and globally. Upon the launch of
One Store, an integrated app store of three mobile carriers and Koreas leading search engine Naver, Google devised a strategy
aimed at securing exclusive release of games. The Commission determined that Googles action that limits multi-homing constitutes
anticompetitive behavior, resulting in the exclusion of One Store from the competitive landscape.
