Technology

I doubt that anti-trust can be raised in something like this.
For one thing, there is no barrier to entry in this industry.  Anyone who 
wishes to compete, and has the capital and is willing to risk it, can join 
the adaptive equipment industry.  For another, the reason for the 
consolidation is survival; I doubt that in today's poor economy, any 
competitor is making money and survival is the essence of the game.
One needs to ask the question of whether even this consolidation will 
allow one company to remain afloat.
I hope so, but wouldn't count on it unless we see a new economy of growth 
rather than contraction.
Competition can only occur if entrepreneurs feel confident that their 
efforts and outlays can be rewarded; and that requires a government and 
economic environment that favors not restricts business.
