Over the past 24 hours or so, Google has completed two important steps (if not the most important) towards closing its acquisition of Motorola Mobility. The buyout of Motorola's mobile device-related business was announced back in August of 2011, and it took this long for regulators in the US and EU to make up their minds whether they like this deal or not. In the end, it's a green light for Google. Or two, so to speak. Both the European Commission and the US Department of Justice have approved the takeover of Motorola Mobility by Google.
