Google must allow Android apps created by rival technology firms onto its Google Play Store for three (3) years beginning next month, a US Federal Judge has ruled.

The move was among other remedies ordered by Judge James Donato in a case brought against Google by Epic Games.
Google said, it will appeal against the decision as well as request for a temporary stop to the proposed remedies.
Some legal experts have praised the ruling as a significant challenge to the dominance of a handful of tech giants.
Rebecca Haw Allensworth, professor at Vanderbilt Law School, said: “It shows that courts are not necessarily opposed to asking dominant platforms to share access with rivals in the name of competition.”
