Re:Google 'Transparency' (Score 1)

How is competition the best solution for Google? When a company doesn't have serious competition they can sell their product for a very large profit. This is how newspapers prospered for a century. They were local monopolies that could charge advertisers whatever they please. The customer had to consume newspaper because it was the only news source in town. This situation produced amazing returns for newspaper owners. Competition harms profits but is great for consumers. But saying it would be good for Google is... well wishful thinking. They are minting money right now and that would change if their dominance of search was eroded.
