> For example, Google prevents rival ad tech services from accessing ads on YouTube

How would this work, will Australians see non Google ads on Youtube in the future? And if so, then I assume those ad companies will pay money to youtube to put ads there, who sets that rate? And how do we ensure that hosting youtube videos is still profitable under those ad rates, maybe it runs under so tight margins that giving away money to other ad companies would make it unprofitable again?

I don't really see how this would work at all. What are they thinking? And even ignoring all of the above, who thinks that putting others ads on youtube would benefit consumers?
