PANews reported on April 17 that a US federal judge said on Thursday that Google (GOOG.O) illegally monopolized two online advertising technology markets, which is another blow to the tech giant in an antitrust case in the United States. This ruling could give prosecutors grounds to demand the breakup of Google's advertising products. The US Department of Justice stated that Google should at least sell its ad manager products, including the company's publisher ad server business and ad trading platform. Google now may face two different US court orders to sell assets or change its business practices. The US Department of Justice has requested Google to sell its Chrome browser and take other measures to end its dominant position in online search, and a judge in Washington will hold a trial on this request next week.
