Google (GOOG) To Get Doubleclick Approval By Christmas

According to TechCrunch and Bloomberg, Google (GOOG) will get approval for its Doubleclick acquisition before Christmas.

The deal has been held up over antitrust concerns.

It will make the holiday unpleasant for the advertising people at Yahoo! (YHOO) and Microsoft (MSFT) who also want to dominate the ad serving and ad targeting businesses.
