Internet Expert Scott Cleland Comments on What Demise of Google-Yahoo Partnership Means
Department of Justice (DOJ) concluded ad partnership was illegal and anti-competitive; Google has monopoly market power.
McLean, VA (PRWEB) November 5, 2008 -- The following comments on Google's withdrawal from the proposed Google-Yahoo ad partnership can be attributed to Scott Cleland, President of Precursor LLC:
| | - "We now know the DOJ concluded the proposed Google-Yahoo ad partnership was illegal and anti-competitive and that Google has monopoly market power."*
- "Google won. It permanently crippled Yahoo, its current top competitor, and sidelined its future top rival, Microsoft, for almost a year."
- "Far from being the benign search engine most people know, Google is a take-no-prisoners monopolist, with an extensive predatory playbook to thwart competition."
|
To better understand the DOJ's antitrust concerns, please see the white paper: "Googleopoly II: Google's Predatory Playbook to Thwart Competition"; it identifies and documents the twenty-six different sources of Google's market power and the five different anti-competitive strategies Google employs to foreclose competition.
*See the statement from the Department of Justice for more information.
