Yeah, the idea of actually breaking up Google is in my opinion foolish, but the idea of introducing limited regulations to try to lessen the impact on other markets from its monopoly position in search, seems perfectly reasonable.

For instance, if there was a rule which legislated minimum standards for transferring services elsewhere, as per your last point, that seems to be something it would be difficult to complain about.

Also, I want to see the text of the adopted statement, because the comments in the press release, and in previous stories, have only said, to paraphrase "regulation may be necessary to unbundle search from commercial services". That doesn't scream "wants to break up the company" to me. Is that really being proposed?
