I think you are confusing state monopoly and nationalization

As for the baby bells, they are being absorbed again one by one by AT&T so at the end deregulation would have accomplished the same thing, concentration of assets in the hand of a few. The end results won't be pretty.

As for government control of TV and media, I agree, however as we have seen with Thaksin and Bush cabals, government sponsors can have much say in TV and news contents as the government itself. So what is accomplished here with the private sector ? absolutely nothing, except the illusion of everything.

Don't confuse a flashlight with the sun.
