      A side note. I saved from the dumpster a plan for AT&T self divestiture composed internally so that they could do computers (they invented a PC in 1969) and breakup logically. If it was accepted over FIGHT, FIGHT, we would be 30 years ahead and still have the old Bell Labs.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1187099651993825280 …

      So as rightly or wrongly we see the largest divestiture of technology companies in history, no matter who wins this next election, understand this is not Microsoft vs the US. It is AT&T vs. the US in ways that experts can't understand. Self divest before it is done for you. https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1187098470873583616 …

      So where is the opportunity since it is a virtual certainty that none of these companies are going to divest voluntarily?

      Thanks for asking. You have it precisely. They will not listen to me or you but lawyers who will earn great income on a “plan”. It will not go well and folks will ask, “why did we not know”. Thusly I try to offer pre advice and hope someone wakes up.

      But, for example, where were the opportunities in the AT& breakup that a savvy investor/entrepreneur could have taken advantage of? That's already happened so perhaps you can give some details on that of where you think opportunities were.

      In other words, if you had that $100 mil you should have been given already by one or more VCs, how would you have deployed, or tried to, during the AT&T breakup?

      Wow this is a very interesting situation. I would have answered the demands of the anti-trust before they came knocking. AT&T vs MCI caused this to happen. The correct path was to open the long distance and local to anyone in return be allowed to compete with computers.

          This would have stopped the anti-trust path and allow AT&T to transition out of a public utility and monopoly, a place they did not want to be but formed by corrupt political elements of the 1930s-1950s. No money really was needed, put that in the bank—they just needed to listen.

          But at that time, computers were still a relatively small, seemingly speculative market. You would have been going up against a deeply entrenched power structure. What I am asking is what were the opportunities that their intransigence create once the breakup was imposed?
