Google Isn?t A Monopoly If Consumers Choose Speed Over Options

While the Federal Trade Commission absolved Google of monopoly accusations earlier today for prioritizing its own products in search results, it's questionable whether the search giant can ever be considered a monopoly, if consumers continue to rely on Google to offer up solutions without the inconvenience of comparison shopping other services. There's countless review websites to help me choose the best restaurants, a handful of map applications to give me the quickest driving directions, and a litany of coupon search engines to find me the cheapest price. In the interest of efficiency, more and more users may want a company like Google to recommend a restaurent, present driving directions in Google Maps, and offer a great coupon--all in one search.
