The big news story this week is that Google lost (the first round of) its antitrust case in Federal court. While it’s way too soon to know for sure how this will affect your business in the near term, it’s nowhere near too soon to think about why it matters in the long run. Because, if you’re like most businesses, Google represents a significant chunk of your traffic and revenues. Anything that causes them to lose focus, lose their mojo, or, most importantly, lose trust among consumers ultimately will impact you, too.
What happened in the trial? What did the judge say about Google — and about its competition? How might this affect Google both in the near term and down the road? What did we learn about how Google operates? And, finally, why does this trial matter for your business?
