    Even though the ads never reach customers, Google still charges the advertisers for them. Until Google gets some real competition, they will continue to get away with things like that.

    It is expensive to build any large network. Therefore, the number of companies that can have that network is very limited, and the ones that do have a near monopoly. Any case where there is a natural monopoly is an industry that must be owned and run by the government. Roads, electricity, telephone, internet, cable - these are all monopolies and can only be provided fairly by the government. Otherwise, those companies because of limited or no competition can overcharge customers. Government regulation of cable companies has been distracted and limited and those prices have shot up insanely. It is time for all public utilities to be truly that, public, and owned by the government.
