Google Deal Said to Bring U.S. Scrutiny from the New York Times reports the Federal Trade Commission will be reviewing the proposed Google and DoubleClick acquisition. The preliminary antitrust investigation is to be conducted by the FTC and not the Justice Department, which is what privacy advocates wanted.

I knew it was going to happen. It happened sooner than I expected, but it did happen. And Microsoft (go figure) was the one who raised complaints (as well as AT&T). Can you say corporate hypocrisy?

Hypocrisy or not, however, the complaint may be legitimate. Unfortunately, it will probably not pass muster for antitrust laws in the U.S. At least that’s been the track record. I guess we’ll see in about a week.
