**Summary:**

* * *

1. **Strategic Intent to Dominate**  
In the antitrust trial, evidence showed that David Rosenblatt, former Google President of Display Advertising, aimed to “crush” competing ad networks in 2009. The goal was to establish Google as the dominant force in online advertising by controlling various market segments.

2. **Monopolistic Practices Alleged**  
The DOJ alleges that Google sought to monopolize markets for publisher ad servers, advertiser ad networks, and ad exchanges. The evidence suggests Google intended to dominate both sides of the ad market, leveraging its technological control to suppress competitors.

3. **Google’s Response and Comparison**  
Google denies the monopolistic intentions, asserting it faces significant competition. Rosenblatt’s comments compared Google’s strategy in display advertising to its success in search, suggesting a vision of market control similar to major financial exchanges.
