Google already carry all local newspapers at a fixed rate. The Australian government just decided to increase the rate to a level Google argue they can't operate under and therefore would have to exit.

So let them exit then. It's not like Google has the right to set prices for themselves.

It's similar to Germany where, i.e. book prices are fixed, and every store must sell for the same price, whether they like it or not. Of course, they have a choice not to sell.

Yeah, that is what happens, just that people complain that Google says they are about to exit.
