Well there is precedent to that. When the us government allowed At&t to dominate the internet markt and then followed it by a huge court case against them until eventually the CEO of AT&T eventually agreed to the division of the company in smaller regional ares of operations.

So they centralised it and then forced them to divide. If we are basically there already then just let them merge so you can prosecute them
