So, by this I suppose it would be O.K for Verizon to buy Comcast??

Not sure this is the “competitive” market place Adam Smith favored.

Me no likie.

Government should protect the free market and competition, not hasten its demise.

Can DOJ appeal this black robed tyrant’s ruling?

“They never fail to give the Chamber of Commerce and the business community EXACTLY what they want.”

Because the Chamber and business community never fail to give our elected EXACTLY what they want. $$$$$$$.

If we didn’t elect people whose only goal was to make themselves wealthy by selling us out, it’d help...a lot.

My question at post 32, was because I have NO faith in DOJ for anything, Is it too far a stretch to think perhaps DOJ lost this on purpose, if it would result in a big payday for Obammy et al? Just asking

It used to be about telephones.

NOW it’s about information distribution.

Both were about POWER....................

Brought to you by the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

Which was brought to you by John McCain. One more reason to dislike him.

My opinion is that little if anything is really being done.

I agree.

(Pls forget about the notion that everyone is in on the game to pretend nothing is going on. The likely fact is that nothing is going on).

I agree, again. Occam's Razor applies.

Sad to say, at this point my gut reaction is that any loss for our “justice” department is a win. I don’t care who’s right or wrong anymore . . . the DOJ is so utterly corrupt that I can’t make myself want to see them win at anything.

NOW it’s about information distribution.

It was always about information too. American Telephone and Telegrasph. I worked in the second "T" as a teletypwriter repairman for almost 20 years. During that time, the whole "Data" era came (and went) and "Digital" took over from the old AC sequential analogue signals. Now, instead of just information distribution, AT&T will be in the "information manufacturing" business.
