Google on trial: Eric Schmidt to field antitrust inquiry - Sep. 21, 2011
The whole thing is a lot of hogwash. And this excerpt sums it all up nicely:
Google doesn't force anyone to use their products exclusively and they aren't the only player in their games; yet the Senate wants to be a bunch of toolbags with this.
Seriously, "one click away" should be pretty evident that Google has plenty of legitimate competition. Just because everyone else sucks, doesn't mean Google should head for the guillotine.
The Senate can blow it out their ass. Plenty of other things to focus on, not the U.S. based companies that are making legitimate money in these times.
