Google-ITA Deal to be Examined by US Justice Department February 2nd, 2011
Bloomberg news reports that the US Justice Department may examine the implications for search by the acquisition of ITA travel software by Google.
The reports says U.S. officials are concerned Google’s ownership of ITA, whose software aggregates airline information, may cause its Google’s travel services to rank higher than rivals such as Kayak.com and Expedia Inc., reducing competition and hurting consumers.
