Also good to ask how much the gov subsidizes the tobacco industry. Perhaps the gov should hold some liability.

If I was the DOJ, I would be looking at AOL/NSCP/TWX more than MSFT. The potential there is significantly more far reaching.

Not sure if I agree on the local phone companies. Some situations are natural monopolies.

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.
