House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers, D-Mich., and ranking member Lamar Smith, R-Texas, followed Sen. Herb Kohl's lead in weighing in on the recent announcement of a trial venture between rivals Yahoo and Google and news reports of a possible Yahoo/America Online merger.
"In February, the House Judiciary Committee announced plans to hold a hearing on the state of competition on the Internet," they wrote in a Thursday statement. The latest announcements "further underscore the need for a hearing on the state of competition on the Internet and online advertising." The committee's Task Force on competition and antitrust task force "will continue to explore these issues," they wrote.
