U.S.: Amid conflicting reports, sources say no FTC decision on Google until 2013
Despite recent reports that Google would probably walk away without repercussions from an ongoing case with the Federal Trade Commission – a report sources said could have been announced this week – the latest updates now say that a decision and subsequent announcement on the case may not be made by the FTC until 2013. Two sources, who declined to be named, now say that the 20-month-long investigation will probably continue into next year, despite the alleged letter of voluntary concessions being prepared by Google to settle the charges.
