Well stated.

I believe (based on one losing run-in with them) that each of the five FTC Commissioners gets to individually decide on the market definition they want to base their vote on. They are free to follow any precedents they want, but are not obligated to do so.

There is no way to find out the Commissioners' temperatures on this unless you know someone in the "anti-trust industry" (the group of lawyers and economists that move from the private sector to the FTC and then back to the private sector).

There are biographies of the current Commissioners on the FTC web site: ftc.gov. There may be less than five Commissioners voting on this case since any commissioners that have or have had a relationship with any of the parties or their lawyers must disqualify themselves from voting.
