Apologies for the late notice on this. Last week I was on a Federalist Society panel discussing Google’s antitrust issues with Rick Rule, Susan Creighton and Scott Cleland. The event description follows, and you can find audio of the panel here. It was an interesting discussion, full of nice ironies in that Microsoft’s chief outside antitrust defender was attacking Google with theories similar to those used against him in the DOJ case, and Google’s chief outside antitrust defender was the author of antitrust case against Microsoft and author of the paper (on cheap exclusion) that was being used as the basis for the case against . . . Google. Good fun. Any thoughts from anyone who attended?
