While Google's decision to invest in mobile search early is arguably not anticompetitive, the US government, says that it 'doesn't mean Google gets to monopolize this market forever'

The Justice Department hammered away at Google in a trial that started on September 12, arguing the search engine giant is a monopolist and illegally abused its power to favor its bottom line. The second day of closing arguments is set for Friday. Google lawyer John Schmidtlein rejected contentions the company had engaged in anticompetitive conduct.

In this non-jury trial, Mehta will weigh whether Google violated the law, and will later look at any punishment, if needed. A decision is expected later this year.
