“After a high-profile 20-month investigation, the federal government announced today its dropping an ‘exhaustive’ antitrust probe into Google, the world’s largest search engine. Google escaped the investigation without paying a fine, but it will voluntarily change some of its practices to be more open to competitors, the FTC said. The FTC’s investigation focused on two main allegations from rival companies: first, that Google favored its own Internet search results while burying links to competing sites; and second, that the company stifled competition by not allowing access to its mobile device patents.”
