- gaius 9y agoIt needs to be broken up like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breakup_of_the_Bell_System
- Sylphine 9y agoMore than 90 % of its revenue comes from ads so I don't see a way they would be affected. The only valuable brands are Youtube and the search engine(android could even operate as a nonprofit funded by Google). Progress but hardly a "win".
- gaius 9y agoMake it spin off YouTube, Maps/Earth, Translate, its public cloud, GMail etc etc.
- Sylphine 9y agoYes but most of those services gain traction from the search engine. Google2 could quickly use FOSS code to integrate similar products to those that they would lose and even if they would be a MVP that would still do the trick. See what I mean ?
- gaius 9y agoIts the level of integration thats the problem, the way they can leverage dominant positions in markets A, B and C to conquer market D.
