I'm no fan of Google. But what could be a thousand times worse than Google? Oh I know. Search as a public utility.

  That depends ... BBC get the job pretty well as a publicly financed utility. So a search that is focused on quality and not ads supported by levy on broadband with transparency in ranking and inclusion, with prohibition of censorship ... may not be such a bad thing after all. Search is important. Although I would just create an IP law that forces the corporation to put the source code and assets in public domain on the abandonment of a service when it gathers above some usage and traction. Someone will pick it up if the interest is enough. P.S. I am ready for the downvoting that will ensure.
