I guess I don't understand what Page was trying to communicate? That there is still room in this world for people to make a living, as long as Google decides they aren't interested in that market? Do we really need, for example, another music streaming service from Google/Facebook/Amazon when we already have _several_ excellent, focused, and competitive streaming services out there?

IMNSHO DoJ needs to hit Google and the rest of these 800lb gorillas very hard with the anti-trust stick...



I think he was trying to say that current competition is incredibly trivial.

I think the Google streaming service utilizes Google's ability to personalize tastes pretty well. At least, so far, it's exceeded my Spotify and Rdio experiences.


I was pretty surprised when I loaded up the free trial of Google Music All Access and right off the bat it suggested some smart playlists that I really agree with. It took me weeks/months on other services to get that level of recommendations.

But that being said, I do have my music collection on Google Play Music and listen from there, so Google had a head start already.
