Following an antitrust decision out of Europe, Google implied it may have to start charging device makers like Samsung and HTC to use its Android operating system.

CEO Sundar Pichai suggested in a blog post today (July 18) that the Alphabet subsidiary may no longer be able to give away the mobile platform free of charge, as it has done since 2007, because of the antitrust decision by the European Union. Pichai said the decision, which Google is appealing, “rejects [Android’s] business model.”
