WASHINGTON, Nov 14 (Reuters) - A final plea by
Alphabet's Google to avoid a breakup of its
advertising technology business in a U.S. court has been moved
to November 21, the court said.
Closing arguments for the Google trial were previously
scheduled for Wednesday, according to a notice from U.S.
District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema in Alexandria, Virginia.
Brinkema ruled in April that the company holds two illegal ad
tech monopolies, and she is now considering what Google must do
to restore competition.
The Department of Justice and a coalition of states have
asked the judge to make Google sell its ad exchange, AdX, where
online publishers pay Google a 20% fee to sell ads in auctions
that happen instantly when users load websites.
