Google will cancel the software licenses collaboration with Android TV makers if they continue manufacturing devices that run various other operating systems such as Amazon Fire TV. The news has been proclaimed by the Protocol. If the subsequent news tends to be accurate, then the license suspension would definitely enable TV makers to run Google Apps or even the Google Play Store. The primary decision would not also allow the device manufacturers to run the Play Store on their own manufactured phones and tablets.

The subsequent decision won’t even permit the companies to file an accusation against Google as this consent went under their policies. The policies of Goggle that cover the following issue are known as Android Compatibility Commitment, which states that the devices which are willing to access the Play Store must have a version of Android, and somehow, it tends to be a compatible issue. The policies clearly stated that if TV makers want to operate Google Play Store then, it is clearly impossible to access it with another Operating System. The primary target of Google in the subsequent matter is Amazon Fire TV, and the news from Protocol clearly shows that Google is warning its clients to break their tie-up with Amazon.

The Protocol also states that if somehow the TV makers find a way to file a lawsuit against Google, then apparently Google will not allow them to operate Play Store in their manufactured mobiles and tablets. All these conditions are strictly mentioned in Android Compatibility Commitment which says if TV maker tries to use Fire TV on their manufactured devices, then they would not permit to use Play Store or Google apps on their tablets or phones. The result will definitely lead to a significant decline in the market of Company as mobiles phone, or other devices nowadays are recognized through Android.

After this trending news from the house of Protocol, several reputed news ventures visit Google to know their perspective about all this. However, they didn’t say a word directly in reference to their questions, but they do add that they are working on a specific program that leads to testing compatibility issues in Android TV devices alongside they are working on something to enhance the security and data privacy of the users. In the end, they also added that nowadays, their devices are showing off error in running various apps, and they called testing as a significant compatibility issue behind it.

The on-going heat of streaming programs has led to various business conflicts in the market. Similarly, we encountered that Roku has acquired almost 30% US market, and apparently, Roku is one of the significant business Rival for both Google and Amazon. Google is currently on the third position in the streaming devices race with only 9% devices sold, Whereas Roku, with 30% on the top and Amazon with 12% devices sold, has acquired the second position. The initiative of Google to warn its TV maker’s business partners is a clear indication that Google wants to defeat Amazon Fire TV first, and then, it will lead to trounce Roku.
