Russia to get rid of Android and iOS by launching its own Mobile 
Operating System

Last month, it was reported that the European Commission is planning to 
impose a record antitrust fine of about 3 BILLION euros (US$3.4 Billion) 
on Google for violating antitrust laws.

Not just Europe, Google also lost an anti-monopoly appeal in Russia two 
months back against ruling for violating its dominant position with the 
help of its Android mobile OS by forcing its own apps and services like 
Google Map, Youtube, and others, on users — reducing competition.

Now to put an end to the monopoly of major mobile Operating System, 
Russians are developing their own mobile operating system to compete 
with Android, iOS, and Windows mobile OS.

The new mobile operating system will be developed on the top of Sailfish 
OS, a product developed by the Finnish company Jolla formed by former 
Nokia engineers, which is now registered in Hong Kong.
