Sorry, Google: Why Yahoo Remains Stuck With Microsoft's Bing [ReadWriteWeb]

A Yahoo/Google search scenario reality check
"Allen P. Grunes, a shareholder at Washington D.C. law firm of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck, who worked in the DOJ’s Antitrust Division from 1995 until 2007, said that the same antitrust triggers that attracted the DOJ’s attention four years ago would fire again. He also confirmed the Post’s report.
“I meant that if it [Yahoo] tried to resurrect the agreement, it would be investigated again,” Grunes said in an email. “And since the market conditions haven't changed much if at all, the outcome would likely be the same. In other words, if Yahoo went over to Google, it would be an invitation for a lawsuit.”"
