To create true competitors to Google, give them access to Google's running datacenters and codebase, just as Google employees have. They need the data even more than code, and the only practical mechanism is (readonly) access to the running systems. Let them hire Google employees too. Ditto for Facebook, Twitter, etc. (I'm not advocating for this, just trying to interpret a practical means for what he's suggesting. This could be a direction for antitrust) As stated, “backroom IT” sounds like random crap middleware plumbing. But I don’t think that’s what he means to refer to.
