After the prolonged Google-China battle fiasco,Financial times had reported that Google is “99.9 percent certain” that it will shut its China search engine at Google.cn. It has been eight weeks since Google said it would no longer censor search in China.Chinese gov had played smarter and didnt do anything stupid or rash like preemptively shutting Google.cn, possibly on the pretense of porn on Google.cn.Instead, they reiterated that all companies in China need to obey Chinese law and waited for Google to make a move.

“If you don’t respect Chinese laws, you are unfriendly and irresponsible, and the consequences will be on you,” China’s Minister of Industry and Information Technology, Li Yizhong, told reporters on Friday in answer to a question on what China would do if Google.cn simply stopped filtering search results.A  Chinese daily is reporting that Google may cease operations in China as early as April 10.The final date would be announced after Google employees would receive their annual year-end bonus.So by Monday we would arrive a date when Google says sayonara to China.

Google currently controls about 36 percent of China’s search market, which currently stands at about 400 million users and grows by 250,000 every day.What would be the consequence is Chinese search engine Baidu would gain market shares and  chances of Bing too is possible because when chinese people look for something outside of china, they don’t use Baidu, they use google, because it’s foreigner too.So Bing does have chances specially because Microsoft made it clear they were not leaving China.Now if google.cn closes down, that doesn’t mean Google.com won’t work Chinese would still be available.

As Google says adieu to China after failing to reach a truce with the Chinese government over censorship,it’s also battling with Verizon Communications.According to a person familiar with this matter, Verizon has been the main company pressing the Federal Trade Commission to investigate, with an eye toward blocking, Google’s $750 million acquisition of mobile advertising company AdMob.This person said Verizon is fretting that the AdMob deal could be a precursor to Google launching its own wireless network, thus becoming a competitor to Verizon Wireless, the cellphone venture co-owned by Verizon and Europe’s Vodafone.Verizon did not comment on this.

However, Google owns a stake in wireless broadband company Clearwire, which is developing so-called 4G networks that are faster than the already-speedy 3G networks offered by the major carriers.”Verizon is challenging this because Google is disrupting wireless by building their own phone network,” the source said.Verizon offers a number of Android-driven phones aimed at chipping away at the dominance of the iPhone, which is only available in the US through Verizon rival AT&T.So with Google’s Nexus one this might seem to be profitable deal.
