Antiquated bullshit is what that is.

What would the modern way be?

Have competitors using the same infrastructure like areas where power companies compete. 
Quote"This is a Russian warship. I propose you lay down arms and surrender to avoid bloodshed & unnecessary victims. Otherwise, you'll be bombed."

Zmiinyi defenders: "Russian warship, go fuck yourself."

I like that idea too, but that still leaves you with a regulated monopoly that builds and maintains the infrastructure.

So like interstate highways.

Wake up, faggots.  When are you going to fucking learn that it's all about shareholder value anymore.  #1 absorbing #2 is what drives profit and the market.

And yet the government has prevented mergers in the 21st century. :hmm:

Pfft, the occasional window dressing.

They stop big airline mergers because the airline industry is as fucked up as it is, and they require government assistance in not fucking their own faces.

Besides, this is an acquisition, not a merger.

What monopoly-creating mergers were you thinking of Seedy? :hmm:

Who said anything about creating monopolies?  I certainly didn't.

I think we were thinking of this one, Seeds: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_purchase_of_T-Mobile_USA_by_AT%26T

There were tangible homeland security concerns involved with that.

That's generally what most people mean when they talk about anti-trust.

Anti-trust, while an archaic concept, still has nothing to do with this particular acquisition.
