Ok, PKP now effectively has a monopoly. Is an antitrust action appropriate? The timing of this announcement, just after Clipper got set back hard, may be significant. It would have raised far fewer suspicions to put the license out to bid and then make sure PKP got it. My partner, who rejects conspiracy theories out of hand, described the action as "stupid". The folks at Meade may be running scared. The announcement is viewed by some as unnecessarily verifying PKP as a previously hidden asset. If someone is overreacting, perhaps those fighting for freedom are getting to them. Doug
