[DelJo63]

"The DOJ has failed to prove its case that the merger would lessen competition".

Once again, this administration makes wild assertions without foundation in facts.

See the report for details.

FYI: Background

This merger is seen as a Vertical integration

• Horizontal integration is the act of integrating other infrastructures, assets and companies of the same industry or in the same level of production. {thus, existing infrastructure, skills and staff are all still applicable. }
  
• Vertical integration is the act of expanding into new operations for the purpose of decreasing a firm's reliability on other firms in the process of production and distribution. Such integration requires firms to undertake new aspects of business operations. {This represents new risk as existing resources are not sufficient nor competent in other business activities.}
