Yes, but this is specifically separately covered is my point. If you take two disjoint areas and combine them, you have not changed the "choice" landscape at all. If anything the arguments that should be made is that this makes Comcast/TimeWarner more powerful in the net-neutrality debates (which I think is actually a very strong and much more meaningful potential result), not that it is somehow affecting actual monopolistic realities for most Americans (or at the very least, this should be conclusively shown as opposed to listing verifiably unrelated statistics). I guess my position is that this is setting up this debate for failure. If you make the unsubstantiated claim that less Americans will have choice, and they can actually prove that its not practically different from today, it makes this argument not very effective.
