Microsoft has received clearance from U.S. antitrust regulators for its proposed purchase of Internet telephony company Skype.

Once the merger is complete, Microsoft plans to add Skype support to its Xbox and Kinect gaming devices and Windows Phone mobile operating system, and connect Skype users with its own Lync, Outlook and Xbox Live communications services.
