Streaming and ePublishing companies join fight against Google’s billing policy

Four more companies — streaming player Altt, audiobook portal Pratilipi, art and design platform Crafto and Tamil publisher Ananda Vikatan — have approached the Madras High Court seeking relief against Google’s payment policy implementation.

Several companies including Matrimony.com, Shaadi.com, Unacademy, Kuku FM and TrulyMadly had earlier approached the high court, challenging Google’s notice asking them to either adopt the company’s mandated billing route or risk being removed from its Play Store.
