This article argues what I believe is the opposite of the truth: that corporate research productivity is correlated with anti trust enforcement. I think this is very wrong! Bell labs really fell apart AFTER AT&T was broken up. Xerox parc declined AFTER Xerox was ruled a monopoly. Anti trust enforcement KILLED innovation, and I think it’s really important that we get the correct relationship here.
