2、hat it would not block Googles (GOOG) proposed $3.1 billion acquisition of leading online ad-serving and tracking firm DoubleClick. The 4-1 decision in Googles favor marked a major win for the Web search Goliath, which is battling to expand its considerable share of the $30 billion online advertisin

The European Unions antitrust commission still needs to sign off on the merger before Google can begin incorporating DoubleClick into its business. That may not happen without Google agreeing to certain condition
4、s, if at all. Already, the EU has raised concerns about its impact on consumer privacy. “This is round one of a two-round battle,“ says Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy (CDD), a nonprofit public interest group that opposed the merger. “The EU can kill the deal, th

But it did issue a separate statement with some recommendations concerning online customer data collection and privacy.The Personal Business of Ad Placeme
6、ntGoogle has faced strong opposition to its online advertising ambitions since it announced plans to acquire DoubleClick in April (BusinessW, 4/14/07 ). Competitors for online ad dollars, such as Microsoft (MSFT), argue the merger will enable Google to effectively control the market. Ads placed besi
7、de Web search results account for more than 40% of the dollars spent online, and Google controls more than two-thirds of that market, according to eMarketer. Much of the remaining online ad dollars go to display ads, the poster-like banners-DoubleClicks forte-that run on most Web sites.Online ads ar
8、e priced based on how well they are matched to the target consumer. Google collects data on searches performed by individual computers, and DoubleClick records information about the computers that visit the Web pages in its network. The more data they collect, the better they can match a marketers a
9、d to a potentially interested customer, and the higher the premium they can charge on the ad.But consumer groups see the issue another way: the more data collected, the higher the risk of violating someones privacy. For the past eight months, groups voiced concerns to the FTC that a combined Google/
10、DoubleClick would aggregate too much information about what Web surfers do online, putting consumers at risk. In the end, the majority of the commissioners decided DoubleClick does not control enough of the display-ad market to give Google an unfair monopoly. “Competition among firms in this market
11、is vigorous and will likely increase,“ the commission majority wrote in a statement.Increased CompetitionRecent announcements by Googles chief competitors support this argument. On Dec. 19, Microsoft-one of the few to challenge Googles merger before the FTC-announced a $500 million, five-year advert
12、ising deal to place ads on Viacoms (VIA) network of popular Web sites, including MTV.com. Microsoft will also be able to sell ad space on Viacom pages that are not in a premium position, based on the data it has about visitors to Viacoms sites.Microsoft also recently solidified multiyear advertising
13、 agreements with Facebook, the second most popular social network in the U.S., after News Corps (NWS) MySpace, and well-trafficked social news site Digg (BusinessW, 9/19/07 ). “When Microsoft comes into a room and talks about anticompetitive behavior and threats to privacy, no one can take them seri
14、ously,“ says the CDDs Chester.It also didnt help Google opponents that many of the companys competitors recently struck agreements to buy ad networks themselves, similar to Googles proposed deal with DoubleClick. Microsoft bought DoubleClick competitor a Quantive for $6 billion in May (BusinessW, 5/
15、18/07). Yahoo! (YHOO) and Time Warners (TWX) AOL also scooped up ad-serving and targeting firms earlier this year. Meanwhile, independent players, such as Specific Media, have secured millions in funding to consolidate their operations with other smaller ad networks (Business W, 11/1/07 ).In a state
16、ment on Googles blog, Chief Legal Officer David Drummond applauded the ruling: “The FTCs decision publicly affirms what we and numerous independent analysts have been saying for months, our acquisition does not threaten competition in what is a robust, innovative, and quickly evolving online adverti
17、sing space.“Privacy Violation?But will it threaten Web users? The final answer may rest with the European Commission. In November the commission delayed a decision on the deal (BusinessW, 11/14/07 ), saying it was more complicated than many competition cases and demanded further review. The EC has u
18、ntil Apr. 2 to issue a ruling.Privacy advocates worry that Google, combining its wealth of search data with the information DoubleClick collects on who visits clients sites, would violate consumer privacy. The sheer volume of information that DoubleClick collects would make it easy for Google to und
19、erstand nearly everything about what millions of individual consumers do on the Web, critics say.Googie counters that DoubleClick clients own information about who visits their sites and what they do there. Many of those clients would consider it a violation of that agreement for Google to, say, sel
20、l car ads on its Gmail service to people who have recently visited an automotive site that uses DoubleClick. As a result, Google says, it cant simply fuse its data with DoubleClicks customer information. However, privacy groups argue that Google could easily encourage DoubleClick clients to relinqui
21、sh their data in exchange for, say, free search ads.The FTC did offer a ray of hope for privacy advocates. The commissioners issued several recommendations about behavioral targeting, where information about users Web activity is used to tailor online ads. The FTC said sites should clearly notify us
22、ers when theyre collecting data on their actions, and that sites should limit the length of time they store that data to reduce the risk of it falling into the wrong hands.The FTC said it plans to look into whether “heightened protections“ are needed to safeguard consumer privacy online.(分数:70.00)(1
