From CNET: The European Commission has been investigating Google's business practices around its Android mobile software, and now the search giant has an extra six weeks to respond to the commission's allegations, according to a report Tuesday by Reuters.
In April, the EU formally charged Google with antitrust complaints over Android, which powers four out of every five smartphones on the planet. The crux of the argument has to do with alleged business agreements that require hardware vendors to pre-install Google services, like Search and Maps, on their handsets in order to gain access to Google's Play app marketplace.
Originally, Google had until July 27 to respond to the formal charges, but now will have until September 7.
Spokespeople for both Google and the European Commission did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
