Google’s Postini purchase gets antitrust go-ahead
August 9th, 2007
Google has received US antitrust approval to acquire web-based security provider Postini, US officials said on Wednesday. Antitrust authorities completed their review of the $625m (ÂŁ306m) deal without taking any action to block it, the US Federal Trade Commission said in a notice.
Last month, Google said it planned to buy Postini to expand its package of online applications to compete with Microsoft’s Office.
