<<But.. as we discussed, control of broadband access to internet does not equal a monopoly, as the competition is from xDSL and dial up (and satellite). Broadband is a "medium" not an industry. It is but one medium in the internet media industry.>>

100% agreement. ATHM/RR would in no way, shape, or form monopolize the internet access business. For instance, if MSFT wanted to buy up every major software word processing company in America this would be a monopoly, but what if they wanted to buy every software company that produced software that directly worked with MSFT Word 7.0. Would this be considered a monopoly? This would not hinder the software industry would it? Many companies control certain aspects of industries, that is how we get leaders. ATHM/RR would still have much competition for internet access.
