A Categorical Rule Limiting Section 2 of the Sherman Act: Verizon v Trinko.

This article reports that the U.S. Supreme Court stated that alleged insufficient assistance in the provision of service to rivals is not a recognized antitrust claim. Following the Supreme Court's decision, members of the House Judiciary Committee introduced the Clarification of Antitrust Remedies in Telecommunications Act. The 1996 Act's sharing duties require decisions about what network elements and services must be shared, at what prices, with what level of care and on what other terms, and for how long. These judgments are technically complex, requiring an understanding of the operation and economics of telecommunications networks and services. They must be based on facts and reasoned economic analysis and must operate within the statutory constraints of the 1996 Act, like any agency decisions.
