MELBOURNE, Austalia (AP) — Google has agreed to pay a 55 million Australian dollar ($36 million) fine for signing anticompetitive deals with Australia’s two largest telcos that banned the installation of competing search engines on some smartphones, the U.S. tech giant and Australia’s competition watchdog said.

The Australian government announced Monday that Google must pay after having admitted to making monopolistic preinstallation deals with Android manufacturers.

ustralia's national newswire has agreed to provide content to Google's Gemini artificial intelligence to improve its responses, the two firms said. Financial details of the agreement, which was announced Tuesday, were not provided.
