Google proposes fix to solve search monopoly

Google said on Friday what it thought should change to address a ruling that it had illegally maintained a monopoly over online search: not much.

Google’s proposal followed the landmark ruling in August by Judge Amit P. Mehta of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, who said Google had illegally maintained a monopoly in online search by paying companies like Apple and Samsung to be the search engine that automatically appears when users open a web browser or a smartphone.
