I was just listening to Scott Galloway's podcast where he suggests if you're a big enough percentage of any market you should be regulated as if you are a monopoly. My opinion is you should not be able to have both sides of the same business (search and ads in the case) in the same company and certainly bundling a flipping ad network/surveillance system in your "free" browser is an astonishing situation. The power Google exert over the Internet is enormous.

Policing words that imply criminality is not a way to not be guilty of abusing your market position.

How would the search business be monetized?

The same way every other website uses Ad Sense today, but they would be different companies...

So a page full of massive banners and popups?

How would that benefit most consumers?

Google uses Ad Sense currently - just look at a SERP on Google and it would look exactly the same as it does now just Google would be selling it's space to Ad Sense or potentially other providers of Ad marketplaces. Hopefully that makes things clearer...
