Yep-- we have banks too big to fail because there are too few of them. Same with the airlines, internet providers and cable companies, etc.

A lot of industries need severe anti-trust, anti-competitive law enforcement.

It’s beyond antitrust, because several industries are organized into oligopolies. The dozen media companies effectively monopolize as a group, and they not only have vertical but horizontal corporate organization, as they have bought up any unrelated media as well.

So the same companies control TV, movies, radio, book and magazine publishing, music and content production, large venue promotion and ticketing, and broad sectors of the Internet.

Fragmenting this is not easy, nor should be done too rapidly, but needs to be both methodical and thorough. Companies split apart should not share in stockholders, directors or proxies, resources and capital, nor can they be permitted to conspire exclusivity with each other in the marketplace, or other restraints on labor or trade.
