Google's Secret 'Project Bernanke' Revealed in Texas Antitrust Case
Program used past bid data to boost tech company's win rate in
advertising auctions, according to court filing
Google for years operated a secret program that used data from past
bids in the company's digital advertising exchange to allegedly give
its own ad-buying system an advantage over competitors, according to
court documents filed in a Texas antitrust lawsuit.
The program, known as "Project Bernanke," wasn't disclosed to
publishers who sold ads through Google's ad-buying systems. It
generated hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the company
annually, the documents show. In its lawsuit, Texas alleges that the
project gave Google, a unit of Alphabet Inc., an unfair competitive
advantage over rivals.

three years upgrading its 5G network with valuable midband spectrum.
Verizon did not disclose the financial details of its new agreements
