[EU fines Google US$1 billion for Play app store and search] Financial News Agency, July 23 (Xinhua) -- The European Union fined Google 890 million euros (approximately US$1 billion) on Thursday for violating digital antitrust regulations by setting up Google Play and its ubiquitous search engine in an attempt to funnel consumers to its own services and applications, thereby harming the interests of competitors.
