The number of companies responsible for delivering information, communication, and entertainment in this country continues to plummet. If one added up the parent companies of 90% of terrestrial radio stations, newspapers, and cable tv networks, plus the largest search engines, internet service providers, cable companies, mobile phone carriers, record labels, and movie studios, you're looking at not even 2 dozen companies, and every year, that number seems to drop.

Comcast bought NBC and tried to buy Time Warner. After the merger failed, Charter ending up buying Time Warner. AT&T just bought DirecTV and are attempting to buy a separate division of Time Warner (not the one Charter bought). T-Mobile and Sprint are in the process of merging and Charter is now talking to Cox about a merger.

shite's out of hand. Before long we will have one super company owned by Comcast.
