(Washington, DC)- Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, Jr. (D-MI) and Judiciary Ranking Member Lamar Smith (R-TX) released the following statement, following an announcement of a trial venture between Yahoo! and Google and news reports of a possible Yahoo!/AOL merger deal:
"In February, the House Judiciary Committee announced plans to hold a hearing on the State of Competition on the Internet. Yesterday’s announcement of a two-week trial venture between Yahoo! and Google, as well as reports of a possible Yahoo!/AOL merger, further underscore the need for a hearing on the state of competition on the Internet and online advertising. The Judiciary Committee’s Task Force on Competition Policy and Antitrust Laws will continue to explore these issues."
