Answer to Question 2
In the various entertainment industries such as television, radio and music, and film production, there are often mergers and acquisitions which consolidate formerly separate businesses under a single umbrella. Multimedia mergers are often so large that they could, theoretically, violate antitrust laws by creating a byproduct that is anticompetitive. The government's role in identifying and challenging anticompetitive mergers is a difficult task. Most mergers actually benefit competition and consumers by allowing firms to operate more efficiently. Some mergers lessen competition. That, in turn, can lead to higher prices, reduced availability of goods or services, lower quality of products, and less innovation. Indeed, some mergers create a concentrated market in which the few members may be tempted to collude, while others enable a single firm to raise prices.
