I like to think that the Democrat induced Netscape purchase by AOL, who in turn was purchased by AT&T, in turn scraffed up by the Ted Turner Time-Warner anit-Microsoft Crowd is getting their just deserved. Microsoft is challenging Tiem-Warner/CNN in the domestic cable industry by proxy company in building a fiber optic H across the US which started in the fall of 99 with about 500 small cable companies bought out and brought together - Ted Turner's faith in government rather than the free market to make honest money is what cost him and many their fortunes; trusing political induced profits is always something that a vote can change and in 2000 that happened!

I wonder if all those deals were only able to happen because they had the blessing of Joel Klein's Antitrust Division at Janet Reno's Justice Department.
