> 1. No one is stopping developers from selling their apps in Android markets.

The Play Store has almost identical rules and pricing compared to the App Store, how is that a competitor?



In a perfectly competitive market products are basically the same and cost basically the same.

The fact that the Play Store is similar to the App Store doesn't mean it's not competitive


The only change in pricing that ever happened in those marketplaces was in direct reaction of this anti trust lawsuit, does that answer your question?


You have established a wrong causual link and I pointed it out. I didn't ask any questions


Why else would they changes their pricing policies ONLY before an anti trust lawsuit other than helping them to defend their case in court?

You are welcomed to find another explanation, I don't see any other one.
