Yeah this sounds like Apple shaking down Google for additional revenue, rather than Google somehow sidestepping competition. Google is paying for the privilege of being able to compete in the browser space on iOS, because if they didn't, Apple would find some reason to ban Chrome from the platform.

I'm thinking Satya is pretty jealous of this arrangement. Recent comments of his suggest that he thinks Google should be paying Microsoft every time a Windows user searches on Google.

I don’t doubt Satya feels that way, but for the situation to really be analogous, Google would need to be the default search on Windows instead of Bing. Google has to deal with Apple because Google wants to be the default on the iPhone.

Ah, captive audience mindset, not tool-provider mindset :/

This is short term thinking
