lets be realistic, they couldn’t exactly refuse Google. Google already have a monopoly! Its a bit too late for that! They are in cahoots with the governments.

And yes, Google is now evil, however still a source of income. Conflicting morals and will to earn money. But hey, supermarkets…

[...] Google a primit marti avizul favorabil din partea Comisiei Europene pentru achizitia DoubleClick. Marele G nici nu a stat pe ganduri si a inceput deja integrarea angajatilor in structura corporatiei. Google a inceput sa fie privit ca fiind o companie monopolistica, cam cum era privit Microsoftul acum cativa ani. Intre timp situatia s-a inversat si din cauza avantului si competitiei dintre cei doi mari giganti, Google a inceput sa fie privit cu ingrijorare. [...]

Good. I’m happy that Google got the approval. If Microsoft bought DoubleClick, I would think they would just kill it. MS can’t innovate anymore. This is just one more step to Yahoo and Microsoft becoming irrelevant.

I, for one, welcome our Google overlords and would stress my usefulness in rounding up others to toil away in the underground salt mines.

True, but rail networks, etc. don’t have access to immense amounts of personal data…and aggregate that to maximize ROI via behavioral advertising, etc.

It’s a bit more disconcerting to have a Googlopoly in an industry with that much access to private data, than it is when one has only 1 or 2 options for rail travel.

Right decision. Competition regulation is only remotely justified where there’s an inherent monopoly. By which I mean something like rail networks, where it’s completely impractical to build a second competing network alongside the existing one so the barriers to entry are unscalably high. Internet advertising doesn’t fit that definition by any stretch of the imagination.

Competition in business is not like competition in sports. It’s easy to be deluded on this point since business journalists have been emulating sports journalists in their coverage for decades. But whereas in sports you always want the teams to be as equal as possible to make it exciting – if Manchester United are always 1st in the league, it gets boring – there is no reason why this has to be the case with business.
