Save a click: Google found to be a monopoly (obviously),. They will likely appeal the decision (obviously). No detail on whether a penalty that would actually penalize the behavior in any real manner is being considered/enacted, but I think we know.

So another decade of appeals (or a year, if Trump wins). Maye the EU will be invigorated by the ruling to take action and sue Google for being a monopoly too, but we'll have to see.

But probably, in the next 5 years, we can expect no change whatsoever.
