Last month I was asked to testify to the United States House of Representatives Committee on the Judiciary Task Force on Competition Policy and Antitrust Laws about competition among paid search providers, particularly the proposed Google-Yahoo partnership.

At the last minute, the hearing was cancelled, and I won't be able to testify at the rescheduled session. Rather than let my draft written statement languish unread, I'm taking this opportunity to post the prepared testimony I had planned to offer last month.
