As Google not-so-eagerly awaits the US Justice Department's word on whether or not it's violating antitrust laws, it appears that the fear of Google-as-a-monopoly is not just a domestic US issue. There are a bunch of headlines about how Russia's antitrust agency has rejected Google's purchase of an ad agency in that country. Technically, the claim is that Google didn't file the proper paperwork, but the agency made it clear that it's worried about Google becoming monopolistic. Of course, as with the Google-Yahoo deal, it's unclear what the "monopoly" is that's being dealt with here or how people are harmed. It seems like this might just be a general "must fear Google" position, than anything based on an actual problem.

As Justice Department investigators continue to assemble the parts needed to build an antitrust case against the proposed Google-Yahoo search ad deal (see “Justice Department marshals forces for rumored G-Day invasion“), the principals are working the diplomatic channels in an effort to stave off hostilities. Facing objections from advertisers and a well-known, Redmond-based competitor that the partnership will limit competition, raise prices and reduce choices, Google and Yahoo, according to the Wall Street Journal, are in the process of floating a series of concessions past regulators. These, the Journal reports, include “capping the volume of Google ads Yahoo would use, assurances that Yahoo would continue to compete in search ads, and a reporting mechanism to ensure compliance, people close to the talks said.

Today's the day Android strutted its stuff to the world. Is Android the game-changer for the SmartPhone industry, a real contender to the iPhone or just another cell phone OS? It's definitely not just another cell phone OS, as evidenced by all the attention around today's launch. Google has technology that other phones use but Google Android will exploit. Google search, of course is the 800-pound gorilla in search. Add Google maps (including a compass feature Google demonstrated in the T-Mobile [HTC] G1 phone), Google Webkit and the Chrome Web browser (a Chrome Lite comes on Android), Google Talk, YouTube, Google Apps, and so forth. This has allowed Google to layer in a single sign-on for all Google apps, and Android syncs data with your Google account for contacts, calendar, chat and likely other applications in the future.

Google has abandoned its planned search advertising cooperation with Yahoo! following resistance from regulators to the deal. The two had voluntarily put the partnership up for regulatory review, but after four months of talks and attempts at amending the deal, they were unable to obtain clearance from the US Department of Justice. Google said continuing with the agreement "risked not only a protracted legal battle but also damage to relationships with valued partners". Yahoo! said it was disappointed that Google was unwilling to defend the agreement in court. Yahoo! plans to continue to invest in search services. The agreement had centred on Google providing Yahoo! and its partner websites with search advertising in the US and Canada.

Google and Yahoo have made major concessions in their proposed search advertising deal in hopes of getting the Justice Department to go along with it, according to a Wall Street Journal story. People “familiar with the matter” say the new proposal, submitted over the weekend, shortens the term of the deal from 10 years to two years and places a limit on the revenue Yahoo can generate from Google to 25% of Yahoo’s search revenue. Also, Google advertisers can opt not to have their ads shown on Yahoo.

imageGiven the name, it’s probably not a surprise that the American Antitrust Institute has issued a white paper (PDF) calling the Google-Yahoo ad pact “anticompetitive.” But in a glass half-full take, the group does cite some “pro-competitive” benefits to the deal as well. It also has some advice for keeping the deal intact without skirting antitrust rules.

As it tries to avoid a potential antitrust clampdown from the Justice Department over its search ad deal with Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO), Google (NSDQ: GOOG) hopes it can ease advertisers’ fears about the pact as well. In a post on the Google Public Policy blog, the company tries to make the case that the partnership won’t result in higher prices—necessarily, anyway. But Google certainly doesn’t deny that some marketers will see higher charges. Excerpts from the Google-Yahoo ad FAQ are below:

Yahoo Inc. and Google Inc. agreed to delay an Internet advertising partnership while U.S. regulators investigate whether the deal will hurt competition. The companies agreed to a "brief" delay while discussions with the Justice Department continue, Yahoo and Google said yesterday in e-mailed statements. Google chief executive officer Eric Schmidt said in August that the partnership would start in early October. Competitors, consumer advocates and customers questioned whether the partnership would give Google too much control over advertising and information on the Web. The plan raised eyebrows as soon as it was announced in mid-June because Google and Yahoo together handle more than 80 per cent of U.S. Web searches. GOOG (Nasdaq) fell $3.58 (U.

It also allows Google advertisers to opt out of having their ads displayed over Yahoo, the report read. Shares of Yahoo were down slightly in after-hours trading Monday following the report.

JagsLive points out a Reuters story which suggests that Google may walk away from its deal with Yahoo instead of accepting possible antitrust limitations from the government. The ongoing investigation of the deal by the Department of Justice has caused new concerns to be raised over whether the two companies have adequately addressed issues such as privacy and competition. From Reuters: "'Are they more serious about walking away? Yes. Have they decided? I'm not sure,' one source told Reuters on Friday. 'Yahoo wants the deal, and they're willing to have Google sign anything at the Justice Department to have them do it.' ... Part of the impetus of Google's walking away could be Yahoo's talks with Time Warner Inc about buying the content and advertising operations of its AOL unit.

There once was a time when Google search tried to be a neutral bystander, watching the web without getting too actively involved. There once was a time when Google instructed webmasters to serve their Googlebot the same thing served to a site’s human users. Now, Google is officially telling webmasters they can serve one thing to people coming from Google web search, and another thing to people coming from elsewhere. Think of it as Google now offering publishers to hand Google a special key to the publisher’s content. Google calls this “first click free” and they say they do this in order “to help users find and access content that may require registration or a subscription”, to “include highly relevant content in Google’s search index” and to “to provide a promotion and discovery opportunity for publishers with restric
