Re: About time this merger should be approved
Yep. The concessions are fine, and several of them have absolutely nothing to do with the merits of the deal nor antitrust concerns. Many of them are just extortion from competitors and the Democrats - bribes for allowing this through.
People whining about the as-yet vaporware "net-neutrality" problem, including industry "expert" Burnstein, need to realize that the FCC isn't around to impose restrictions on one company that they don't impose on anyone else. They've done it correctly here - they've agreed to 30 months of following the "net-neutrality" principles stated by the FCC in order to let Congress decide on the actual rules. Congress is supposed to make laws - not the FCC.
Let's get it through. They've already given the extortionists several cookies...
