New report obliterates competitors' claims of unfair or
anticompetitive "search bias" by Google

http://j.mp/u5ikHK  (International Center for Law & Economics [PDF])

   "Most critics simply ignore the myriad of procompetitive explanations
    for vertical integration in the economics literature. This omission by
    critics, and especially by economist critics, is mystifying given that
    economists have documented not only a plethora of procompetitive
    justifications for such integration, but also that such vertical
    relationships are much more likely to be competitively beneficial or
    benign than to raise serious threats of foreclosure."
