New York Post: FTC reportedly will find that Google did not violate
antitrust laws

http://j.mp/TdAByO  (New York Post)

   "Federal regulators are expected to close a year-long probe of Google's
    search business without finding any antitrust violations, The Post has
    learned.  The Federal Trade Commission is expected to announce before
    the end of the year that Google's search engine did not cause any
    consumer harm or favor its own businesses, sources close to the
    situation said."

Hoping this report from The New York Post is correct.  There obviously
has been no consumer harm, and the attacks on Google in this sphere
have been driven by Google's competitors who just can't match the
quality of Google's services on their own.
