Don't be silly. There are no "levels" of monopoly. Any consumer can freely choose another search engine; I know I do.

That said, Google and a few others want to be able to monopolize bandwidth without actually having to pay for it. Streaming content is just different from HTTP. If that gets people's panties in a bunch, tough.

I never said Google was a monopoly, but them claiming they're going to sue an ISP or a group of ISP's for "anti-trust" is ridiculous. The fact they have a greater share of their own market than any single ISP has of the ISP market signifies how ridiculous it is.
