This is so stupid in so many levels.
One of the reasons "Bell System" was broken up in to smaller companies because they had overwhelming majority on a technology and they were using their monopoly and power in preventing any real competition in that market.
Google doesn't share the same type of monopoly Bell system did and there's a lot of players in the search and advertising market. As a matter of fact anyone with little cash and a good idea can enter this market anytime they want and Google can't stop them from doing it.
This is also true for Gmail, ad-sense or any product Google has.
MSFT has a bigger market share in Personal computer OS than Google in any market it operates and Microsoft actively conspires against any other company trying to enter their market. They did it with Apple and Linux for as long as I can remember.
Google has done more good for the internet and online-technology and they are the single largest contributer to open-source software than any other company in the world. Why the FUCK would you want to break them up?
There are genuine concerns about privacy, but Google doesn't tie anyone down and they don't hold any monopoly. You can stop using their service anytime you want and there are some very good alternatives out there.
