Microsoft’s audacious $42 Billion offer for struggling internet giant Yahoo show how much they are getting worried about being left in the shadow of Google. Yahoo announced a gloomy outlook only last week, and saw it’s stock price plunge 10%. Microsoft’s own stock has been under performing for years now. In brief, Google threatens Microsoft’s grip on how people interact with computers.

For Yahoo, the bid underlines their own missed opportunities for strengthening their own brand, and allowing Google to become the internet’s main gateway. But it seems Microsoft will be under more pressure than even Yahoo to complete the proposed deal. The companies position might well become more precarious unless it can cultivate a more loyal Internet audience and generate more online ad revenue to subsidize the free services taken for granted on the Internet.

However, there is sure to be oppopsition to such a merger. It will need approval from antitrust regulators in the United States and Europe to succeed, and Google are already ready to object. David Drummond, senior VP of corporate development, worries the acquisition of the internet portal by a company that has “frequently sought to establish proprietary monopolies” could “extend unfair practices from browsers and operating systems to the internet.”

To counter, Microsoft argue Google already have “far more marketshare when it comes to internet searching than a combined Microsoft and Yahoo! possibly could”, then stating their company is “committed to openness, innovation, and the protection of privacy.”

The proposed offer, when announced late last week, excited the finance markets, just when they most needed stimulus, little doubt it will lead to investors betting who will be the next internet merger. It appears Microsoft are getting increasingly worried by Google. Yahoo are struggling to compete. And Google themselves busy watching their backs. Meanwhile, for internet users, life will carry on. The worry for us will be if a too dominant power emerges. So who needs internet consolidation the most? Or is it the least?
