Google Inc. offered new proposals to address European Union concerns that the company unfairly uses its search engine to promote its own services.
The bloc gave Google’s rivals four weeks to review the proposals, which change the way the company displays results, particularly for specialized shopping and local searches. The company also lowered from an earlier proposal the prices it charges rivals to appear in results.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Websites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other websites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
