Sometimes, a monopoly comes about because they're the ones doing it best, not because they're abusing the market to drive customers to them from other places. So what do you do when that happens? One of the potential solutions is change the laws in the EU regarding monopolies.

From what I understand, I don't think the monopoly is concerning search engines, it's more to do with all the other services Google owns/offers and how they work together as well. As to whether or not that will be a reality remains to be seen. Even if Google's European services do split up, I don't see that carrying over in the US assuming they don't pull out of the EU entirely.
