Satya Nadella took the stand today in the DOJ’s case against Google where he talked about Microsoft’s plan for Bing and the company’s struggles because of Google’s alleged monopoly in the market.
Earlier today, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella took the witness stand to testify in the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) trial against Google. The DOJ had opened an investigation into Google alleging that the company used its position to create a monopoly in the search industry.
While these hearings are usually broadcasted or media is allowed, Google had earlier argued for a veil of secrecy which probably was the reason why media has not been allowed to live-blog the hearing.
However, Bloomberg (Paywall) has now shared some snippets from Nadella’s testimony in front of the judge. In the hearing, Nadella mentioned that Microsoft has spent around $100 billion to build and develop its Bing search engine.
