Google Antitrust Investigation

Has Google gotten too big? This is the question of many attorneys around the country.  48 states in fact.  The question behind the investigation is whether Google has achieved a monopoly in their industry, the internet itself.  Smaller advertisers have stated that the market has come down to whatever Google says, goes.  There is a serious grey area of whether this could even be considered a monopoly, however.  This kind of investigation will take time, as Google's parent company has a market value upwards of $820 million.  They control so many aspects of the internet that if you surf it you are bound to run into one of their services.

I personally believe this investigation has ground to be true, but also to be false.  Google did receive a hefty fine for unfairly inserting exclusivity clauses into contracts, but their intentions do not seem negative to society in the end.  CBS News' Irina Ivanova brought to light how utilities that were a mere fantasy are now real thanks to Google.  In the end, we may never know if Google is acting unfairly, but we will also never not see their logo on a computer screen-- at least in my lifetime.
