Summary: Attorneys that were once on the same side of the anti-trust suit against Microsoft, have differing opinions on Google. Attorney Mr. Reback states that Google is using it's search engine to favor the company's online shopping, travel and local listings, which is stifling competition from Web sites that rely on Google search for traffic.
Relevance: If it's true that google is using it's search engine to keep other websites that offer the same thing for less, it will keep small businesses that rely on internet revenue from competing.
Quote: "Google's conduct is pro-competitive," Ms. Creighton declared in her Senate testimony last year. "Far from threatening competition, Google has consistently enhanced consumer welfare by increasing the services available to consumers."
