I really don't think very much is going to happen and if it does, I don't
think it will be a bad thing in the long run.  The breakup of AT&T seemed to
be bad at first but I think it was a good thing in the long run.  The
breakup of Standard Oil (which also engaged in unfair business practices), I
believe was a good thing although it was a little before my time.
