One still unanswered question:
by hawkeyeaz1 December 20, 2007 11:21 AM PST: How is it EU can tell Google and Double Click they cannot do this merger when both are US companies? Sure, they can deny the merger in EU, but it would still go through in the US, and Double Click would still be owned by Google, so they can't stop it due to lack of authority.; Reply to this comment
