That may be, but they are right. Do you think anyone will benefit from Verizon+MCI? After this merger, the incumbent ILEC in a huge market area will also own the only real CAP (remember Brooks and MFS?). Isn't it bizarre that it is possible that a regulated LEC will also own an unregulated CAP, which currently competes (vigorously, I might add) with the LEC? Do you think anyone will benefit from ATT+SBC? Both mergers stink to high heaven. And we can probably rest assured that the FCC does not have the consumers' best interest in mind.
