Can you show us one instance where a monopoly did not give us high prices, low innovation, and few options? When we have to look at Europe for innovation that is a sad state of affaris. How the mighty have fallen. The USA is rapidly becoming a technological pipsqueak and bad government has played a major role. The problem is particularly critical in this area because media consolidation threatens democracy. Take a lesson from Italy where one man gained control of all the networks and used that to elect himself president. His corrupt government then changed laws so he could not be prosecuted for the many crimes he committed in the process. >I'd say the boards and shareholders of XM and Sirius know a bit more about >their business than you or the guvmint does. I'm sure Jeff would be perfectly happy if the US were run by one big corporation (probably with Bill Gates at its head). ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
