  • Antitrust Divestiture in Network Industries Howarda
    The University of Chicago Law Review Volume 68 Winter 2001 Number 1 © 2001 by The University of Chicago Antitrust Divestiture in Network Industries HowardA. Shelanskit J. Gregory Sidaktt The landmark Microsoft case raises challengingquestions concerning antitrustremedies. In this Article, we propose a framework for assessing the costs and benefits of different remedies,par- ticularly divestiture, in monopolization cases involving network industries. Our approach can as- sist a court or enforcement agency not only in analyzing the welfare effects of divestiture,but also in choosing more generally among alternativekinds of remedies. The framework would,for exam- ple, apply to a court's choice between damages and injunctive remedies or between behavioral in- junctions and structuralinjunctions. After developing our framework, we apply it to the divestiture proposalsmade by the government and others in the Microsoft case. We argue that those proposals leave open important questions that must be answered before divestiture can be shown to be either the best remedial alternative or to create likely net gains in economic welfare. INTRODUCTION The late William E Baxter went to Washington to fight monopo- lies in 1981. By the time he returned to teaching at Stanford Univer- sity three years later, the Bell System had been restructured from one company into eight.' Baxter's handiwork was the most ambitious anti- trust divestiture since the government's breakup of Standard Oil in 1911.2 As architect of the AT&T divestiture, Baxter believed that a theory of antitrust liability should map coherently on to a proposed remedy. The remedy should end the conduct that is alleged to have harmed consumer welfare and that forms the basis for a finding of li- ability.

  • Critics Are Picking Apart a Professor's Study That Linked Internet Use to Loneliness and Depression

By DENISE CARUSO Published: September 14, 1998 PRINT ROBERT KRAUT, a co-author of a new study linking depression with Internet use, sounded a bit depressed himself last week. SINGLE-PAGE SAVE ''I thought I was finished with this,'' Mr. Kraut, a professor of social psychology and human- computer interaction at Carnegie Mellon University, said with a sigh. He was alluding to the flood of attention -- and criticism -- that his study, titled ''Home Net,'' had received since it was published two weeks ago. Starting in 1995, ''Home Net'' researchers gave PC's and free Internet accounts to 169 people in 73 families in the Pittsburgh area. After monitoring their on-line behavior, in some cases for more than two years, the researchers concluded that spending time on the Internet was associated with statistically significant increases in depression and loneliness. Critics assert that the study has fatal flaws that neutralize its findings and that they are appalled at the authors' far- reaching conclusions about the impact the findings might have on Internet policy and technology development.
