How do you all know what type of merger this is? Do you all work on
the inside, and can say with insurances, that this is to consolidate
rather than to eliminate?

Great from hearing from someone who has a legal background on this.
And, taking this a step further, let's say the DOJ actually filed an
action to stop the merger.
That would cost VFO major dollars to defend which they likely don't
have.
So, the deal falls through and (probably) AISquared goes under so
who is
better off then?
This isn't a merger out of strength; this is a consolidation
necistated by
attempted survival in an ever changing landscape and in an economy
which
isn't exactly flourishing.

First, this just happened. there is no actual showing of harm to
the consumer
yet. Second, there _are_ other screen readers out there. I'm
thinking of
Narrator, and something I've read about on this list called System
Access.
there may very well be more I don't know about.
Also, this represents possible but not yet proven injury to a very
small group
of consumers in the over-all scheme of things. It's not exactly a
headline
grabber. Then there's budgetary considerations. My area of legal
expertise
before I retired was not anti-trust or consumer litigation. This
was covered
a bit thirty years ago when I was in law school. But you don't
have to be a
lawyer to figure this kind of thing out. We'll just have to wait
and see what
happens. I realize the federal trade commission, or the DOJ, can't do
anything about this if they don't know; so I'm not telling anyone
not to file
a complaint. I'd just be very surprised if anything happened.
Remember,
there is something even more powerful than a verdict, an
injunction, or a
writ. That's the wallet.
