Mergers Seldom If Ever Benefit The Public

In a country were we are sold on the free enterprise system we are spoon fed "competition is good" and truth be told when the FCC allows mergers I've never seen the market improve one iota for consumers.

Case in Point, Oil Companies. Those mergers sure helped. Still you can look at any other merger and it doesn't help the market. HP & Compaq. Nope. Less choise in PDA's and Laptops. The list goes on.

Jack Abramoff Was Too Busy

Too bad influence peddler Jack is busy these days or he would have sewn up the Bellsouth merger months ago. Seriously, how can anyone other than special interests and corrupt politicians argue that these mega-mergers are in the public's interest, any more than no-bid FEMA/DoD contracts and Diebold voting machines are in the public interest. Remember this on November 7.

ATT BELLSOUTH Merger

I believe the ATT BellSouth merger sould not be approved and ATT should be broken up under the Antitrust laws
