Google vs. the Government: a Case of Hubris Catching Up with a Giant?

I’m not sure the government’s desire to target the bull’s eye over Google’s back instead of MSFT has anything to do with it hating success.

I think it has more to do with Google’s brashness.  As an entrepreneur, I respect Google for that confidence, but if I were in the Department of Justice and looked at anti-trust matters, you better believe that a company that does $17B in revenues, launches satellites in the sky and launches product upon product (successful or not) would raise some eyebrows.

In fact, conceptually speaking: Google’s efforts in launching free, Ad[Sense]-supported products is not all that different than MSFT’s bundling of products within Windows.

Regardless, the lesson here is simple: you sow what you reap, be it with your own government or with that of others.
