WASHINGTON, Sept 14 — The Justice Department sought on Wednesday to show how Google did all it could to get people to use its search engine and build itself into a US$1 trillion search and advertising giant on the second day of a once-in-a-generation antitrust trial.
Google’s clout in search, the government argues, has helped Google build monopolies in some aspects of online search advertising. Search is free so Google makes money through advertising. Barton said on his LinkedIn profile that he was responsible for leading Google’s partnerships with mobile carriers like Verizon and AT&T, estimating that the deals “drive hundreds of millions in revenue.”
Hal Varian, Google’s chief economist, told the court that scale, or the number of search queries Google received, was important, but pushed back during questioning on how important. Google attorney John Schmidtlein said in opening arguments on Tuesday that the government was wrong to say that Google broke the law to hold onto its massive market share, suggesting that its search engine was wildly popular because of its quality and that the payments were fair compensation for partners.
