Also, regulations tend to lock-in the current market structure.
The article ignores that Google has a robust new competitor, Bing (as well as other new specialized options like Wolfram) and "search" itself is evolving in social forms like Twitter and Facebook.
Innovators, as usual, are already working on solutions to today's perceived problems.

- kngspook 17y agoI'd still like to see more competition than Google vs. Bing... But Google's brand-power is really a strong asset at this point. At this point, I almost like Bing more for wearing away at Google's mind-share than Google's market share. (Of course, one comes with the other.) Maybe Bing's existence will open the door for some new start-up to make a dent.
