Missouri Attorney General Offers His Aid on Google-ITA Probe

Attorney General Chris Koster of Missouri has offered to assist the U.S. Justice Department in its antitrust probe of Google’s planned acquisition of ITA Software Inc.

“This transaction causes me concern because of its potential impact on the ability of consumers to search online competitively for competitively priced airline fares,” Koster said in a letter yesterday to Christine Varney, head of the department’s antitrust division.
