Watching: Google’s first monopoly trial in USA
The first monopoly trial of the internet era begins next week as US courts decide whether to break up Google's parent company, Alphabet. The trial will determine if the company is too big and engaged in unfair trade practices. The outcome will have implications for other technology giants and governments worldwide, including the EU and India, which are implementing legislation to regulate technology companies.

There is divided public opinion in the US on whether Google should be broken up, with some believing it has become too big for American interests.
