There are anti-monopoly laws for a good reason. They are to protect the consumer from those perhaps formerly smaller businesses who became big and greedy and left the interests of the public behind. There is a need for checks and balances.
It doesn't have to be all or nothing. ATT&T and Comcast can still remain big and develop new technologies. They just don't have to do it by crushing everyone else out of existence. We get new technologies from the little guys too. And from universities. I don't believe that keeping the big guys from pushing the little guys out of existence is going to stymie technological advances.
