The Korean agency isn't alone as the U. S. Federal Trade Commission recently served Google with a subpoena regarding the possibility of unfair practices surrounding Android. The company's AdMob mobile advertising agency had also previously come under the scrutiny of Korean officials in May of this year.
Google seems to be learning what happens when your mobile platform becomes really big and you get a target on your back. What makes the Korean situation particularly grating is that Korea-based Samsung is in a big battle with Apple over its Android-based Galaxy line of products. Having Korean officials going after Google can't help Samsung in the long run.
