The Sprint/WCOM merger is being blocked more for concern over control of Internet backbone traffic than for consumer long distance. Consumer long distance has lower barriers to entry and numerous suppliers of low cost services, plus Internet-based services will supply an even lower-cost alternative very soon.

But control over the Internet backbone (of which the combined entity would have more than 50 percent share) is not a good thing.
