       | The CCI in October ordered Google to not prohibit un-installing
       | of its apps by Android phone users in India -- currently, one
       | can't delete apps such as Google Maps or YouTube from their
       | Android phones when they come pre-installed.
       | 
       | The CCI also said Google's licensing of its Play Store "shall not
       | be linked with the requirement of pre-installing" Google search
       | services, the Chrome browser, YouTube or any other Google
       | applications.
       | 
       | "No other jurisdiction has ever asked for such far-reaching
       | changes based on similar conduct," Google said in its court
       | submissions.

         | Maybe other jurisdictions should ask for these changes though.
         | Apps you can't install is already dystopian enough.
