Sridar ramsame: Government should be looking out for us. He says many people believe that anti trust is often used to tect incumbents from competitors by putting lots of regulation on them. The challenges we could imagine, perhaps, of anti trust regulation that might make the world a better place "are not clear we're going to get it," he says.
