European Commission Gives Google Until July
- The Telegraph , Sunday, June 10, 2012 9:59 AM
If the search engine giant doesn’t address its dominance of the web search market by early next month, it faces regulatory intervention and heavy fines. The deadline will bring the first stage of the European antitrust authorities investigation to a close. If Google does not negotiate, regulators will issue a formal “statement of objections” in response to complaints by more than a dozen rivals that it abuses its dominant position in general web to promote its own secondary services such as price comparison. Recent signals from Google have suggested it is in no mood to back down.
