Interestingly enough, the vacation of M$ breakup unleashed a massive lobying campaign by no other than WB/AOL pressing for continued litigations.

MS and AOL are also better positioned today than several years ago as far as number of lobiests and funding. Years ago MS contributed a meagre $10K to political parties whilst last year it had contributed well over $4M, same goes for AOL.

MS cheif lobiets are the former chairman of the republican party and a former democraic senator.

Where does this put any anti trust steps against AOL?

See today's NY Times.
