DoJ has already approved this, and as the ones performing the antitrust review I'd equate them with the committee of first referral. The FCC, with its dangerously imprecise public interest standard, would be the committee of secondary referral. We need a rule where if the FCC doesn't act on any merger after X date then it is automatically approved.Patrick RossFri, 15 Dec 2006 13:51:58 -0000
