RE:"Everybody was very concerned at the time about the AT&T breakup, but one year later the benefits were obvious to all." I have watched 35% come off my Microsoft investment. Not to mention the NASDAQ with fears of Lawyers getting more of a foothold in Hi-tech. I'll be waiting for the benefits. AT&T may not be a good comparison. They were a regulated monopoly at the time of the break up and agreed to be broken up...quite unlike Microsoft. Since technology moves so fast no monopoly (or perceived one) is guaranteed to last very long anyway. The Lawyers are just stroking their thangs and costing investors, retirement plans and likely the GNP another 10-20% going forward. Where are the controls on the government monopoly? I suspect the DOJ is trying to get all they can before next election...after that...a lot of them will be out of a job. Jim
