The antitrust divsion of the Department of Justice already researched this proposed merger and found that the deal would "not likely to reduce competition substantially [or] harm consumer welfare". DOJ also noted that their is little geographical overlap as Bellsouth does almost all of its business in the southeastern US. I work with the Hands Off the Internet coalition and am opposed to net neutrality regualtions that have been proposed in Congress but again believe this is an issue best addressed industry wide and not on a case by case basis.

He'd probably not mind it much if Stalinist starvation resulted from it. The Chimperor is all about Stalinist collectivization, after all.
