From a Wall Street Journal story by Miles Kruppa and Jan Wolfe headlined “Google Antitrust Trial to Set ‘Future of the Internet’ DOJ Says”:

Google paid huge sums to cement its dominance in internet search, shut out competitors and stifle innovation, the Justice Department alleged Tuesday in kicking off the biggest antitrust trial in more than two decades.

“This case is about the future of the internet and whether Google will ever face meaningful competition,” said Justice Department lawyer Kenneth Dintzer during his opening statement.
