On the second day of the antitrust case against Google, the DOJ focused on former Google employee Chris Barton's testimony regarding deals with phone companies in the 2000s.
Barton revealed that he prioritized making Google the default search engine on mobile devices, promising phone service providers and manufacturers a share of ad revenue.
Barton also mentioned that Google wasn't the only search engine vying for default status with phone companies. Yahoo and Bing were in the competition too.
In another argument, Apple raised concerns over DOJ's disclosure of two numbers, fearing violation of trial confidentiality rules.
In response to Apple's concerns, the DOJ clarified that the numbers were from external sources and their mention was unintentional.
