Quoting a promoted comment from ruddy at ars technica: "One does not have to be a monopoly to trigger antitrust scrutiny, the actual criteria is to have "market power." Like a monopoly, it is not illegal to achieve market power, it's just illegal to abuse it in an anticompetitive manner. There's no question whatsoever that Google has market power in the online search/advertising market. The only question is whether they've abused it to muscle in on other markets."
