"So why in the world is everybody worried about megamergers? The government, if anything, should be encouraging them, and so should consumer groups.

Sporting Man
I say this as a sporting man. The old telcos don't have much of a chance anyway, so let's give them one. I think that when the tornado hits, the new Intels and Microsofts will have names like Worldcom, Qwest, Level 3, TCG, TCI, IXC, Williams, Windstar, Iridium and Teledesic. Born with a vision for data communications, these upstarts understand the exponential magic of today's technology. And like their counterparts in the PC industry, they see also the miraculous possibilities of elastic
demand: The more you reduce prices, the more you spur demand.
