Quote to Note: FTC Goes Slow with the Google

December 20, 2012

I read “U.S. Inquiry of Google Is Expected to Press On.” The story could 404 by the time you are reading this. But you probably have a dead tree edition of the New York Times handy. The story is dated December 18, 2012. I have no comment about the source or the story. I do want to highlight one passage as a quote to note:

The commission was prepared to accept Google’s written assurances that it would alter some practices related to search, according to the reports. The F.T.C. could enforce compliance with such a written assurance.

I know that writing on the chalkboard “I will not talk in class” a 1,000 times worked really well. I am sure a written note will have an enormous, lasting impact on the GOOG.
