SEOUL: A South Korea's antitrust regulator has fined Alphabet's Google 207 billion won (US$176.64 million) for blocking customised versions of its Android operating system (OS), in the US technology giant's second setback in less than a month.

.。。。。。

The fine comes on the day an amendment to South Korea's Telecommunications Business Act - popularly dubbed the "anti-Google law" - came into effect.

The law now bans app store operators such as Google from requiring software developers use their payment systems - a requirement which effectively stopped developers from charging commission on in-app purchases.
