Google and Yahoo have come to an agreement in which Yahoo has links and search ads to Google. This will help with the promotion of the Google as well as Yahoo. Anti-trust regulators got in the way in Washington and have been delaying the process for months. Washington claims that this merger would break several regulation rules, and have hired several lawyers and executives to work on the case. Apparently, the merger deal is breaking three major laws. First Google holds 70% share in the paid search market, and Yahoo holds 20%...so if the two companies merged it would be creating a monopoly. Second, Google would be paying Yahoo to exit the search arena, which is an illegal agreement. Third, they are performing illegal price fixing on their search offerings.
I think it is perfectly acceptable for the government to step in and regulate. Such large companies need monitoring and fine tuning especially when combining something as large as the search arena of Google and Yahoo.
