Telecom Pundit Predicts FTC Blockage of Google-DoubleClick Deal
Microsoft's acquisition of aQuantive was recently approved by the US Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and Yahoo completed its acquisition of ad exchange Right Media after a green light from the FTC. That just leaves Google-DoubleClick as the last major deal on the regulatory table. Now a telecom consultant, Scott Cleland, president of Precusor LLC, has written a much-discussed and very dense 35 page white paper that argues in favor of blocking the "Google-Click" merger and predicts it won't happen accordingly.
