Google’s Schmidt Said To Be Set For Questioning By FTC

Google Chairman Eric Schmidt is set for questioning by the Federal Trade Commission as the agency speeds up its antitrust probe of the world’s most popular search engine, according to three people familiar with the situation. Schmidt’s deposition is slated to take place as soon as next week, one of the people said. FTC investigators are also interviewing two lower level Google officials this week, another of the people said. The three people declined to be identified because they weren’t authorized to speak publicly about the matter.
