FTC approves Google's Doubleclick deal
GOOGLE'S ACQUISITION of DoubleClick Inc. got the nod from U.S. antitrust regulators
The Federal Trade Commission, approved the acquisition by four votes to one. In a statement, the body said, "Because the evidence did not support the theories of potential competitive harm, there was no basis on which to seek to impose conditions on this merger".
Monopoly watchers in the EU are still mulling the deal but Googler-in-chief, Eric Schmidt, reckons the US decision will help sway the Eurocrats. "The FTC's strong support sends a clear message: this acquisition poses no risk to competition and will benefit consumers," he said.
Microsoft - for once - will be egging on the EU, we feel. µ
