They discuss the latest news from this week surrounding Google's antitrust search case, looking at whether the changes the tech giant has been forced to implement will have a significant impact on the ad tech ecosystem, and whether we can still expect a breakup of Google in its ad tech monopoly case.

This week's news story:

Google won’t have to sell Chrome, after ruling in search antitrust trial (Digiday)

Google won’t be forced to sell its web browser Chrome or Android mobile operating system, Judge Amit Mehta has ruled, in the tech giant’s antitrust search case. 

Its exclusive search deals with handset manufacturers and ISPs have been prohibited. Google must also share certain search index and user-interaction data (not ads data) with “Qualified Competitors” and offer them search and text ads syndication services on commercial terms.
