Judge James Donato intends to dismantle Google’s Android app store monopoly, following an earlier ruling declaring it illegal.
Google argued that opening its store to competitors would be too costly and complex, but the judge dismissed this claim, emphasizing that barriers will be removed.
Proposed remedies include banning discriminatory practices against rival app stores and setting up a committee to monitor compliance and report regularly.

From what i read, a federal jury already decided the case months ago. This was the final hearing on what is to be done to rectify the play story monopoly, in other words a jury has already heard all the facts and the judge even more so. At what other point should the judge declare intent? If anything the judge has heard everything there is to hear and is taking a no bs stance against a company who says it would be to expensive to do these things despite designing it that way and being worth 2 trillion dollars, they know they have the money to do it and he knows it as well.
