Internet Expert and Analyst Scott Cleland Comments on New FCC Filing Regarding Serial Anticompetitive Discrimination by Google

Precursor LLC President Scott Cleland responds to new FCC filings from UK search engine Foundem, which document Google search network discrimination and provide a window into the EU-Google antitrust case.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 24, 2010 -- Today, internet expert and analyst Scott Cleland, President of Precursor LLC, responded to new filings from Foundem, a UK vertical search competitor to Google. The data-driven filings, filed in the FCC’s Open Internet regulation proceedings, document serial anticompetitive discrimination on Google's search network. Mr. Cleland’s analysis of Foundem’s filings can be found on Precursorblog.com, and more information on Google’s anticompetitive behavior can be found on GoogleMonitor.com.

Of Foundem’s filings, Precursor LLC President Scott Cleland said:

“The filing presents eleven charts representing eleven different data series that clearly show how Google's Universal Search is not neutral in that it "blends" the top ranking of Google-owned products and services with ostensibly organic (supposedly neutral) algorithmic search results.” “The correlations in the data series are compelling and replicable by the EU and the U.S. DOJ, because they come from a third party data set -- ComScore's.” “The data also prove that Google's representations that its search network is neutral and never manipulated are patently false and misleading to the public.”
