As dominant as Google may be in the marketplace, it's still good for the British economy according to the chief executive of the Office of Fair Trading.
John Fingleton defended the search giant against accusations that it was bad for consumers, saying:
"Where a company has achieved that position by superior innovation, foresight and better targeting of customers, we're very wary of intervening," he told MPs on the Commons culture, media and sport select committee.
"Thus far, while lots of people have talked to us about harm to competitors, nobody has articulated to us harm to customers or related companies in this market," Fingleton added.
