In written testimony to a Senate antitrust panel where he will testify Wednesday afternoon, Eric Schmidt, Google’s chairman, describes the search giant as a company facing fierce competition on many fronts, a relentless innovator in a dynamic industry and a creation of the open Internet so consumers can easily switch to competing services.Google generates wealth for itself, he writes, but even more in total for small businesses across America.
