U.S. antitrust enforcers are questioning whether JDS Uniphase Corp.'s proposed $18.6 billion acquisition of E-Tek Dynamics Inc. would hurt competition in the expanding market for fiber-optic components, say a customer and people familiar with the government's review. I don't understand why this is a big deal. The government always runs an antitrust review on any large merger, and everyone knew from day one that this one would need a review. I guess some reporter needed a story to make his quota.
