Topic Reading-Vol.1105-4/21/2015

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
EU accuses Google Shopping of search 'abuse'
Closed system vs. open architecture. Monopoly vs. competitive market. Convenience of one-for-all vs. competitive products and pricing.
Like Apple and Microsoft, Wintel (Windows-Intel) and the others, there have been a few large-scale anti-trust investigations, negotiations and litigation in high-tech industry.
This time, the search giant Google is facing a huge penalty by the EU. Even though the dominant search engine has been chosen by its users, the commission sees the search company’s abusing its dominant position in the market space. What have they done? Do you realize anything been done to you? If yes, was that annoying or rather convenient?
Enjoy reading and thinking who are benefited and who are abused by Google.
