Break Up Amazon & Facebook too.

  A lot of his arguments make sense for amzn, facebook, ms, all the big tech players I think. He indirectly mentions this in a couple cases, even if his focus is on Google. I think it's reasonable to focus on them because of the huge impact services like Maps can have on commerce.

  Current (US) laws, if I understand correctly, designed to prevent leveraging success in one market to harm your competitors in another. For example if Chrome would only work with google docs and not microsoft live. USA does not have laws to break up companies simply for being too big or even for being used by majority of customers.

    US Anti trust laws applies to monopolies [1] where one of the penalties for abusing a monopoly is breaking up the company which was famously done to Standard Oil and AT&T. The EU have found Google guilty of antitrust violations and fined them a record €1.5 billion.
