KEY POINTS

  • The Department of Justice late Tuesday indicated that it was considering a possible breakup of Google as an antitrust remedy.
  • The DOJ said it was “considering behavioral and structural remedies that would prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to advantage Google search.”
  • The judge has yet to decide on the remedies, and Google will likely appeal, drawing out the process potentially for years.

    Also break up ISPs. I have the local monopoly and 4 red herrings providers allowed to operate to give the illusion of competition.

      And force fiber installation. I have plenty of fiber in my area… it just stops at the boundary of every apartment complex.

        Oh my gosh.
        My town advertised fiber rollout with a completion by the end of 2023.

        I asked about any projects for my street because it’s no longer 2023 and the clerks couldn’t find any road permits for running it through the conduit

        I live in a community of rental homes.

        My area would get reasonable fiber coverage by the time we figure out how to stream cat videos over entangled particles to a phone.

      Nationalize ISPs. Internet access is a utility, no one should be profiting off of it.
