Re: Vert. Integ. w/o cond'ts is dangerous said by Michael C:And by "conditions/rules" you mean regulation? This is what is needed today with or without mergers. I never meant to imply otherwise.
I'm simply pointing out that Comcast getting bigger is not necessarily bad for the market. Regulation in general, and specific merger conditions can ensure that.
But allowing them, or any other video distributor, to withhold content from competitors is very bad for the market. Less competition would be the certain outcome. |
