Levine/Zuma Press By Ryan Tracy in Washington and Valentina Pop in Brussels June 24, 2019 5:30 am ET As U.S. officials prepare an antitrust probe of Alphabet Inc.’s GOOG 0.94% Google and possibly other Silicon Valley giants, a loose-knit crew of its rivals is gearing up to help.
Antitrust lawyers say any probe could take years to complete. Battle lines are already forming. Google is preparing its own data and arguments, the Journal has reported. It also recently overhauled its Washington lobbying operation with an eye toward amplifying the message that its products promote competition and benefit consumers.
All these companies say they would welcome further antitrust scrutiny. They and others are expected to seek out Justice Department officials as they prepare a Google probe, according to industry executives and antitrust lawyers. “Cautious and quiet optimism,” is how Mr. Kint described his members’ mood upon hearing the news of the potential Justice Department probe.
