Google reportedly is close to settling the antitrust case the European Commission brought against it more than three years ago. This is its third offer to the EC so far, and it reportedly includes commitments from Google on how it will treat rivals and how it will use content from other providers. “We are … at a critical point in the Google investigation,” said Antoine Colombani, EC spokesperson for competition. Opposition from Microsoft and other complainants reportedly killed two previous settlement offers.
