Creepy? Google Wants to Give Machines the Gift of Sight
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — According to the Yonhap news agency, the Korea Fair Trade Commission (KFTC) believes that Google Inc. has allegedly been forcing smartphone makers to use its operating system on the devices.

A FTC inspection of Google's office in Seoul was carried out last week.

KFTC already acquitted Google of the same charges two years ago after a two-year investigation, which concluded that Google's advertising operations were too small revenue to threaten market competition.

The news come a week after the the European Commission brought its third antitrust charges against Google.
