Yahoo and Google Ad deal faces anti trust

[temi]

A formal antitrust investigation into a deal struck between Yahoo and Google over search advertising is set to be launched by the US Justice Department.
The Washington Post said investigators will also demand documents from other large internet and media companies.
Together Google and Yahoo claim nearly 80% of the web search market and agreed to give antitrust authorities 100 days to look at the deal before going ahead.
Yahoo had called it an $800 million (£400m) annual revenue opportunity.

I don't like the deal myself... it just makes Google stronger

Ironic that as "Antitrust" was a phrase often associated with Microsoft

Wasn't there a film called Antritrust which had a megalomaniac geek owner who found a bunch of bedroom coders and murdered them?

I don't like the idea of Google getting even bigger and stronger
