But, I think that it is fair to say that collaboration does make, it is more justified at times in the high tech industries. But I think antitrust has a good record with respect to sensitivity to terms about innovation. It is hard to be any more cautious than that. Yes, I think that is often true, although intellectual property, we often talk about patents, trademark, and copyright, so that there are barriers for substantial periods of time, and again you can have these network effects that promote barriers to entry. One of the most interesting, arguments is that conventional antitrust fears monopoly, as Judge Hand said in the Alcoa case, because, monopoly is a narcotic.
Competition is a stimulant.
It does not look that way to me. On the contrary, they are aggressively innovative, and aggressive with respect to price. But that does not answer the question whether, two companies are better than one, three companies are better than two, not just on a price plain, but on a, uh, innovation plain. And certainly this country has, profited, by a active decentralized antitrust program compared to other countries in the world that are not doing as well. Finally, and I think most challenging, is the question of whether or not network effects are something that antitrust can deal with intelligently.
