Unfair Advantage

A monopoly in business is an unfair advantage, while preventing other business from being able to establish in the market. I do not believe that Google does this. They simply provide a better product and service.

It's not just the percentage

It's not just the percentage that determines if the company is a monopoly, it's the behaviour. Google could control 100% of search and that would be fine if they are still innovative, provide a valuable service to the customers, and don't prevent competition. The problem would occur if Google starts creating policies that prevent other search companies from getting started. For example, if Google creates a policy that says that if you pay for search on yahoo then you will be backlisted from Google.

Google

Has there ever been a company that so dominated a buisness sector like Google?

Of course there has been! Microsoft

and now they are crying.

There is no real monopoly here as a monopoly is the forming of companies to destroy competiton by fixing prices etc...

Here Google by itself became the Giant in search thats not called a monoply its called success
