Also the EU doesn't like US businesses dominating in Europe

They also may oppose this merger on political grounds, though that won't be admitted. The EU has a history of sticking it to big US companies(like IBM, Microsoft, & Apple) because for nationalistic and competitive business reasons they don't want US companies dominating all the EU companies.

The Google/Doubleclick merger would unite 2 advertising behemoths and could potentially shut out EU businesses from this lucrative and "culture altering"(advertising does that) marketplace.

If the US FTC raises objections based on Congressional pressures, I expect the EU will see that as a green light to try and block the merger.

Re: Also the EU doesn't like US businesses dominating in Europe

EU is/has been much more regulated on everything than the U.S.
Even their own wireless system is much more regulated/expensive than the U.S.... but because of regulation, it typically works better.

Media in general... many news papers/tv/radio don't censor for content like they do here.

Except all the media, the wireless service, the airline industry etc etc - these are all much less controlled and/or more competitive thus resulted better services, better market.
This 'America is better for business' is utter BS - it's ended decades ago, now it's a good place for only "uncontrolled giants and monopolies, nobody else.

My complaint is that doubleclick has so many dam names it takes forever to block in a router or a host file.
Anyone know anyway to get dc all in one filter?
