This seems like the issue to me, they can say they'd have Google's Loon business. But that's 0 actual business. I don't see how they can possibly claim they'd have Google's advertising business since it's obviously completely unrelated to what they do.
- willvarfar 10y agoThe money Google invested in loon can be argued to be less than Google would have paid to buy in the tech. This puts a nice lower bound number on the lost opportunity.
