Federal Trade Commission FTC Approaches Google With Antitrust Hammer Swinging
FTC Approaches Google With Antitrust Hammer Swinging
By Rob Spiegel
E-Commerce Times
06/24/11
If Google appears nonplussed by the FTC's attention, it doesn't have much company. Comparisons to Microsoft's long and painful antitrust saga abound. "Google seems to be making the same mistakes Microsoft made, only they're making those mistakes faster and worse," said tech analyst Rob Enderle. "Snubbing Congress was insane."
Department Stores
Google (Nasdaq: GOOG) was notified by the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday that a broad formal investigation will be launched. Google respects the FTC's process, it said in a blog post, and will be working with the agency over the coming months.
The FTC's Bureau of Competition will issue subpoenas to Google within the next few days, The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. Its investigation will focus on Google's dominance in search advertising, and determine whether it manipulates search results to direct users to its own sites and services.
Attorneys-general in California, New York and Ohio have also launched antitrust investigations against Google, The Financial Times has reported.
While the FTC probe appears to be the most intense investigation into Google to date, the company has been targeted previously over antitrust issues.
Google and the FTC did not respond to the E-Commerce Times' requests for comments by press time.
Following Microsoft's Troubled Path
Google could be at the center of a chapter of history repeating itself. Its present position is reminiscent of Microsoft's (Nasdaq: MSFT) in the mid-90s, which led to its prolonged battle with U.S. and European regulators. One question is whether Google's long dominance of search advertising has led company officials to have a sense of entitlement, creating a climate in which they've been routinely using search as a competitive weapon.
"The FTC called up Google and said, 'You've been naughty boys,'" Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce Times. "Now Google is going down the same path Microsoft went down. Congress wanted to look at them as well, and they thumbed their nose at Congress. They said, 'No, we're not coming.' Instead, they sent their chief counsel. You don't snub Congress. As rich as they are, they're not a government yet."
Right now, Google's control of the Web is formidable.
"They control the page rankings," said Enderle. "They have the power to make and break companies on the Web, and many of those companies are Google competitors. That's an enormous amount of control, and the FTC sees that as restraint of trade."
The lessons of the past don't seem to have made a sufficient impression on Google, in Enderle's view.
"Google seems to be making the same mistakes Microsoft made, only they're making those mistakes faster and worse," he said. "Snubbing Congress was insane. Microsoft blazed this trail in the United States and Europe, so I think we're going to see this happen more quickly with Google."
If Google seems cavalier about the way it wields its power, the same could be said about its concern over its public image.
"It's almost like they've decided their image doesn't matter," said Enderle. "Their image has taken a beating over the past five or six years. This will hurt their image even more."
Cracking Open Google Search
Ultimately, the FTC inquiry may have a bearing on how online searches are conducted. Will Google continue to determine how to produce the best search results, or will its competitors get a chance to weigh in?
"Google's algorithms today currently select one set; Google's competitors would like to have a different set. At issue is how gets to decide what 'best' means," Carl Howe, director of anywhere consumer research at the Yankee Group, told the E-Commerce Times.
"If the subpoenas get issued, I think this could result in litigation that goes on nearly as long as the Microsoft antitrust trial," he said -- "not because the merits of the case warrant it, but because Google's competitors have everything to gain from it going forward."

年輕人炒iPhone賺快錢 應肯定但須保持清醒
年輕人炒iPhone賺快錢 應肯定但須保持清醒
明報
6/23/2011
【明報專訊】3名中七生等待放榜期間,透過互聯網召集網民排隊購買iPhone,居然建立起一個炒賣iPhone賺快錢的模式,收入可觀。這3名青年朋友的做法,在衆多暑期工作之中,別樹一幟,反映他們有一定商業頭腦,也懂得掌握時機。
他們的賺錢故事,反映不少年輕人沉迷於上網、電子遊戲之際,還有部分年輕人積極進取的一面;若有更多年輕人展現商業頭腦,由搵快錢過渡到創實業、辦企業,創造更多就業機會,相信更是整體社會對年輕人的期望。
「3人組」vs.宅男宅女
積極取態值得肯定
Job Search
迄今所知,3名年輕人賺快錢的模式,並無什麼獨得之秘,不外就是看準市場空檔、炒賣、賺差價。由於內地iPhone供不應求,他們召集網民排隊購買,網民對他們而言,只是人頭,以符合售賣iPhone商號登記買家身分證、每人只可購買一部iPhone的規定。
每個人頭獲50元佣金,他們則把iPhone拿到先達廣場,交給手機店,賺取差價,據知差價每部200多元,以每日可以炒賣24部iPhone計算,利潤約5000元,3人均分,每人每日可賺得約1600元,以暑期工作而言,甚為不俗。據知他們的「生意」已經持續約3星期,每日工作約兩小時,以時薪計算,就更可觀。
當然,他們要準備一筆開拔費,iPhone門市零售價5188,以每天炒賣24部計算,涉及約12萬元,雖然以信用卡過數,首天營運時,他們的信用卡要有足夠信用額,頭寸問題才解決。
另外,先達廣場收購iPhone的價格浮動,即是炒賣有風險,若市場逆轉,他們就有可能損手。
炒賣iPhone操作模式並不複雜,相信過去一段日子的營運,「3人組」已經駕輕就熟,根據本報記者觀察,發現他們除了透過上網召集購iPhone人頭,還在商號附近即席游說街頭市民,登記購買iPhone,除了顯示靈活變通,也反映他們的社交、溝通能力不俗。
所以,迄今為止,「3人組」炒賣iPhone利潤不俗,完全是他們看準市場,並努力營運的成果。
不少年輕人做暑期工,除了掙錢消費,許多時候是為了累積工作經驗,為日後正式投身社會鋪路。年輕人基於家庭背景不同,例如大老闆可以安排子孫輩到旗下企業體驗,即使由低層做起,對日後參與、接管生意,都是一種歷練;上述炒賣iPhone「3人組」,一些側重傳統價值的人,可能認為年輕人應該腳踏實地,對他們涉身炒賣,可能不以為然。不過,只要看到時下不少年輕人受電腦覊絆,成為電腦的奴隸,不分日夜地埋首打機、上網,足不出戶,只有網上世界,成為宅男宅女,生活態度萎靡、人生目標空虛,他們日後如何應對生活、工作和競爭,早為父母和有識之士的隱痛。
「3人組」認知事物和知行合一的表現,顯得較為正面積極。
炒賣iPhone「3人組」的表現,雖然難以說值得推廣與仿效,但是與一些取態消極的年輕人比較,「3人組」會獲得較多認同和肯定;不過,撇除傳統價值觀,「3人組」所折射時下年輕人的追求和心態,有一定普遍意義,值得討論。
年輕人要認知局限
以創造可持久事業為職志
首先,賺快錢,不應該受到道德責備,但要知道這並非可持續的模式。香港「炒業」鼎盛,炒樓、炒股,就算投資銀行內的金融精英,還不是以炒賣為業?「3人組」只是炒賣大潮下的滄海一粟。
不過,年輕人要認識到iPhone供求總有理順一日,所以,類如iPhone的炒賣,是不可持續的,說不定「3人組」的故事曝光之後,會惹來其他人仿效,這盤生意在惡性競爭之下,可能很快就會無利可圖。若「3人組」和整體社會都認識到炒賣只是一時一地的操作,辦實業、辦企業才是可大可久的生意,則此事會有更積極意義。
其次,「3人組」這一役,顯現了商業觸覺和頭腦,不過,他們若要投身商界發展,仍需更大、更多努力,努力吸收知識、充實自己,練好基本功,才有更大潛力發揮所長。所以,「3人組」賺了一些錢,若他們適度花用之餘,以之來進修,提升自己,為日後的人生打拼厚植力量,則這樣的態度和抉擇,更值得鼓勵和其他同輩學習。
我們相信,關於暑期工作,年輕人在認知、機會、際遇或選擇縱有不同,無論是炒賣iPhone「3人組」、賺取最低工資時薪的暑期工,甚或無私奉獻地參與義務社會工作,都會為年輕人的人生歷練添上一筆,成為他們人生歷程忘不了的一頁。時間在年輕人一邊,多動腦筋,多作嘗試,成固可喜,敗亦無妨,即使跌倒,也有足夠時間再起。年輕人,在這個暑假,放膽地闖蕩人生吧!

3名中七考生轉售白色iPhone月賺10萬 3人等放榜無嘢做 聘網民排隊出機
高考生排iPhone月賺10萬 3人等放榜「無嘢做」 聘網民出機轉售

【明報專訊】iPhone和iPad在港有價有市,3名中七學生看準賺快錢機會,在高考後等放榜期間組成「排隊黨」,在網上和手機門市外招攬「排隊員」,每天早上花兩小時排隊購買約20部白色iPhone 4,然後到先達廣場轉售圖利。
3人扣除給予每個「排隊員」的50元佣金後,每部機約淨賺210元,每月可賺10萬元,每人分到3萬多元,創造近千元時薪的「筍工」。其中的李同學解釋,落力轉售iPhone全因為「放暑假無乜嘢做,咪賣iPhone賺少少錢」。

周一至五「開工」 日排2小時
暑假將至,本報發現在網上討論區相繼出現不少自稱「筍工」的告示,吸引學生「應徵」,當中包括由中七生李同學與兩名朋友策劃的「高薪排隊員」,列明星期一至五「開工」,以50元半小時薪酬請人排隊代出iPhone或iPad。
記者以應徵者身分留言,獲李同學的朋友致電回覆,指由於電訊公司限制一張身分證只能出一手機,身邊親友的身分證已用過,故需「排隊員」陪同他們到電訊公司出機,排隊員不用上台或繳付任何月費,工作亦屬「一次性」。
記者昨早約8時前往李同學在中環的「工作」地點觀察,未有表露身分,發現有4、5個「排隊員」準時現身,不少是年輕人或上班族。李同學與兩名友人分批將他們帶往數碼通出機,過程只需約10分鐘,之後他們履行「承諾」,即場繳付每人佣金50元,其間李同學不忘提醒排隊員「可介紹親戚朋友再來幫忙」。
出機10分鐘 佣金50元
昨天適逢3號強風信號生效,出機人數不多,李同學與朋友為求多賺錢,不停在大雨下兜搭途人,連在港鐵站外派傳單的人亦不放過,即使風吹雨打、連番被拒,仍十分落力,有不少人以工作忙碌為由拒絕「協助」出機。
李同學其後向站在電訊公司旁的本報記者推介「筍工」,稱只需10分鐘便「有錢分」,並自我介紹,指自己在九龍城讀中七,讀書成績不佳,剛剛完成高考,「見未放榜放暑假無嘢做,咪賣iPhone賺少少錢」。
3人每日買24部iPhone
記者隨後答應代他出機,一同進店。電訊公司職員對李同學很熟悉,並笑言「近呢個月成日見到佢」。李同學說,iPhone市場價格穩定,即日轉手圖利風險較低,平均一部可賺200多元,「通常一日我哋3個人可以買到24部」,粗略估計每人日薪達1600元。
由於記者只是「陪買」角色,李同學需以自己的信用卡繳款5188元出機費,他有兩張信用卡,其中一張昨突出現「無效」情况,他立即轉用另一張,他估計是一天內使用信用卡次數太多,部分銀行不受理交易。
而若單以昨日計算,他在途人及排隊員協助下,於1.5小時內買到7部電話,刷卡共3萬多元。他又指此類手機產品一直有市場,「可能9月出iPhone 4S又可以再炒」。他們的「生意」約運作了20日。
在先達有收購iPhone產品的店主坦言,現時每天約收到近200部白色iPhone 4放售,不少屬剛開封的手機,「先達收購價」為5450元。
他說,每日有不少青年主動放機,相信暑假後會有更多人加入賣機行列,「出高少少價就有人幫手搵機回來,我自己都沒時間去排隊」。

【明報專訊】iPhone和iPad在港有價有市,3名中七學生看準賺快錢機會,在高考後等放榜期間組成「排隊黨」,在網上和手機門市外招攬「排隊員」,每天早上花兩小時排隊購買約20部白色iPhone 4,然後到先達廣場轉售圖利。
3人扣除給予每個「排隊員」的50元佣金後,每部機約淨賺210元,每月可賺10萬元,每人分到3萬多元,創造近千元時薪的「筍工」。其中的李同學解釋,落力轉售iPhone全因為「放暑假無乜嘢做,咪賣iPhone賺少少錢」。

周一至五「開工」 日排2小時
暑假將至,本報發現在網上討論區相繼出現不少自稱「筍工」的告示,吸引學生「應徵」,當中包括由中七生李同學與兩名朋友策劃的「高薪排隊員」,列明星期一至五「開工」,以50元半小時薪酬請人排隊代出iPhone或iPad。
記者以應徵者身分留言,獲李同學的朋友致電回覆,指由於電訊公司限制一張身分證只能出一手機,身邊親友的身分證已用過,故需「排隊員」陪同他們到電訊公司出機,排隊員不用上台或繳付任何月費,工作亦屬「一次性」。
記者昨早約8時前往李同學在中環的「工作」地點觀察,未有表露身分,發現有4、5個「排隊員」準時現身,不少是年輕人或上班族。李同學與兩名友人分批將他們帶往數碼通出機,過程只需約10分鐘,之後他們履行「承諾」,即場繳付每人佣金50元,其間李同學不忘提醒排隊員「可介紹親戚朋友再來幫忙」。
出機10分鐘 佣金50元
昨天適逢3號強風信號生效,出機人數不多,李同學與朋友為求多賺錢,不停在大雨下兜搭途人,連在港鐵站外派傳單的人亦不放過,即使風吹雨打、連番被拒,仍十分落力,有不少人以工作忙碌為由拒絕「協助」出機。
李同學其後向站在電訊公司旁的本報記者推介「筍工」,稱只需10分鐘便「有錢分」,並自我介紹,指自己在九龍城讀中七,讀書成績不佳,剛剛完成高考,「見未放榜放暑假無嘢做,咪賣iPhone賺少少錢」。

關愛基金向23萬新移民派六千
「關愛」向23萬新移民派六千
星島日報

新移民10月可申關愛6000元
(綜合報道)(星島日報報道)關愛基金落實向低收入新移民派六千元的資格,執行委員會決定採寬鬆入息審查資格,以今年首季家庭入息中位數為上限,預料有近二十三萬名低收入新移民受惠,派錢總額料近十五億元。但有新移民團體不滿有關安排歧視新移民,且最低工資後大部分人薪酬增加,入息審查只變相鼓勵新移民暫不工作,以換取領六千元「入場券」。

入息審查被指加標籤
關愛基金執行委員會昨日敲定對新移民派錢資格,須按家庭入息中位數上限接受審查,已領政府多項援助的新移民自動合資格,包括綜援家庭、領書簿車船津貼、住公屋等家庭等,均毋須再受審查。一人家庭入息中位數上限為六千五百元,二人家庭不可超出一萬四千六百元等。
執行委員會主席羅致光指出,關愛基金是幫助低收入家庭,今次政府派錢屬一次性資助,委員傾向採寬鬆標準,只要不超出家庭入息中位數,已可領六千元,不設任何比例入息限額,他強調入息審查並非是歧視新移民,本港永久居民接受福利也須通過入息審查。
羅致光承認,最低工資令普遍家庭入息上升,但第二季數據未出,遂以首季家庭入息中位數參考,之後交督導委員會拍板通過後,再由立法會民政事務委員會及財委會撥款,九月起宣傳及十月起登記。
低收入新移民須在明年三月三十一日前居港未滿七年、已年滿十八歲才合資格,十月三日起至明年六月底前,郵寄表格向關愛基金秘書處登記領錢。現已接受政府援助的新移民,亦須填表及附上有關援助單據證明;沒有受助的新移民「N無」人士,只須填寫法定聲明家庭入息沒超出入息限額,毋須交證明,只填姓名、地址、銀行戶口等資料已可。
有委員指出,本港現有約三十六萬名居港未滿七年的新移民,估計一半人屬低收入,保守估計有近二十三萬人合資格領六千元,其中八成人已領政府援助,早已通過家庭入息審查,只要填表交援助證明便可;餘下兩成人估計是「N無」人士,亦只須填寫聲明毋須特別交入息證明,秘書處料抽查約一成個案了解有否濫用,委員形容「今次真是好寬鬆」。
政府向新移民派錢整筆支出料近十五億元,其中百分之二屬行政費及銀行手續費,即不多於三千萬元,首批新移民可在十一月初由銀行戶口或支票收到六千元。
協助新移民的同根社主席楊媚指出,最低工資後薪酬上升,不少新移民月薪已過七千元,單身人士易超越入息上限不能領六千元,變相鼓勵新移民暫不工作以符派錢資格,入息審查更如標籤新移民,「窮人就一定係呃政府,仲要係新移民。」她批評關愛基金堅持對新移民設關卡派錢,只浪費公帑,更再次挑起分化新移民與香港人關係。
