RE: "Was the government correct in breaking up AT&T? Standard Oil?"

Great question.

The answer is.....If prices dropped and service and product quality went up as a direct result of these
actions then the answer is yes. Otherwise the answer is no.

Gee, that kind of makes it a hard determination. If they are wrong, do they give the monopoly back? What about innovations? How do you determine if prices drop? Do you include inflation? Do you compare it against the industry?

Now I know your buddy in that article doesn't think a monopoly is bad. I'm sure his portfolio has nothing to do with his beliefs or definition of words.
