EU monopoly watchdog delays Google decision - Telegraph.co.uk

Complainants against Google include Microsoft and smaller rivals in Britain, Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United States.

On December 3, Jon Leibowitz, the chairman of the US Federal Trade Commission, met Mr Almunia in Brussels.

Both men have been examining whether Google abuses its dominance of the general web search market to unlawfully promote its own sideline businesses, such as shopping comparison, while relegating rivals.

The small armies of lawyers and lobbyists following the case believe that Google has convinced him to stop short of enforcement action over alleged manipulation of search results.
