Now that the Federal Trade Commission have cleared the merger with DoubleClick, I wonder what the impact will be on online advertising in general ? Microsoft were quick to purchase aQuantive.
With guidelines issued from the F.T.C stating that web sites should be more open about personal information delivered in targeted advertising and opt-out options improved will the big players take any notice?

The merger is another step towards advertising domination by Google. I MSN and Yahoo get things ramp up in 2008 or they may soon be history. Competition is great for everyone so I hate to see Google be the only player in town.

Isn’t the European version of the FTC (sorry I’m ignorant on how the government is setup across the pond ;)) still undecided? Without that approval, the deals not going to happen.
