Comment The EU are a bunch of hypocrites! (Score 2) 156
This is the second time the EU has had something to say about the merging of two US companies. First it was with the Sprint/MCI merger and now this(Let alone what they have to say about M$).
Not too long ago however, they made threats to the US saying we MUST approve the merger of Deutsche Telekom and Voice Stream or else they would make the US life difficult.
I'm tired of the EU butting themselves into our mergers and then complaining if we try to block them. Now I know that Voice Stream was a much smaller deal than either of the previous mergers, but that doesn't justify them sticking their nose into our businesses.
If other countries can institute anti-competitive practices(namely Japan, Europe), its time for the US to follow suit....:-)
