I've been making comments to that effect for years. The FCC shouldn't be looking at this, the FTC should:

"The Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Competition enforces the nation's antitrust laws, which form the foundation of our free market economy. The antitrust laws promote the interests of consumers; they support unfettered markets and result in lower prices and more choices."

Unfettered markets being the operative words.

This is funny. You have one part of the government activly promoting monopoly and things like that while you have another part of government that is claming to prefent the same thing.

The reality is that antitrust law has been used more often to destroy competition that underpriced you rather than taking out evil monopolys. Many free market economist are against antitrust regulation.
