Given my recent 10-page white paper which analyzes the antitrust and competitive implications of the Google-DoubleClick merger, I thought it would be helpful public service to pose some questions that reporters/analysts consider asking Google's CEO Mr. Schmidt on Google's earnings call.
-
Does Google have a 50% "antitrust dominant" share of the search market?
-
Is search the new Internet browser?
-
Is search the largest Internet access gatekeeper?
-
Is Google the new Microsoft of the Internet?
-
Would the DoubleClick acquisition foreclose competition in the Internet advertising market?
-
Is click fraud as rampant as Click Forensics indicates: 14.2% of all searches?
-
Why are so many groups suing Google for theft of intellectual property: trademark owners; newspapers, publishers, authors, movie studios, programmers to name a few?
-
Why doesn't Google abide by industry-recognized best practices for protecting privacy of consumer information?
-
How much private information would a Google-DoublClick have on American consumers?
-
Does click fraud/IP lawsuits imply that Google has weak Sarbanes-Oxley internal controls to protect shareholders?
