True but you missed the point.
"... And in seven
years, the Bush Justice Department has not brought a single
monopolization case." -- Statement of Senator Barack Obama for the
American Antitrust Institute

"Monopolization case" as in:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The Sherman Antitrust Act (1890)
Section 2. Monopolizing trade a felony; penalty
Every person who shall monopolize, or attempt to monopolize, or
combine or conspire with any other person or persons, to monopolize
any part of the trade or commerce among the several States, or with
foreign nations, shall be deemed guilty of a felony, and, on
conviction thereof, shall be punished by fine not exceeding
$10,000,000 if a corporation, or, if any other person, $350,000, or
by imprisonment not exceeding three years, or by both said
punishments, in the discretion of the court.

With the Bush administration gone we could see competitors
emboldened for the first time since 1998.
Sincerely,
