Ok, honest question. Wouldn’t this just encourage conglomerate interests to capture the value outside the company? Seems like a logical place for a large PE funded wedge company if the opportunity was made available like that. Going from one player to two is very possible if we do something simplistic — it’s a big juicy target and a land grab if it’s simply divested. How can we insure a healthy diversity instead of the immediate reconsolidating that would come with a simple separation of interests?

I am for these changes, just asking the question I honestly worry about.
