Howard Shelanski says that regardless of whether the Microsoft-Yahoo deal is ultimately approved, the deal’s size and complexity means it will likely prompt regulators to extend the initial 30-day review period for an additional six months…. “These firms are both major players, and there’s certainly some horizontal overlap,” says Shelanski. “There are many other markets involved here” … and each market needs to be evaluated on its own merits.
