I think it's unlikely, beleive it or not because of antitrust issues.  I 
know, I know, with this administration???  Anyway, I fear a more likely 
victim to be a network/telecommunications company.  Most fearful it 
would be AT&T (my employer).  I think they have a better chance of that 
and with the way AT&T stock's doing lately, cheaper...

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
