After Google was fined $5 billion by EU courts for forcing providers to make its own products the default on Android devices, the company is now separating Chrome and search from the rest of its suite of apps. The question has been, though, how licensing arrangements will work. According to documents obtained by The Verge, the fees will reportedly vary by country and the phone's pixel density (presumably to approximate how high end the phone is). These fees will be paid by phone manufacturers, not by consumers.
