Cablevision Buyout

Last week the Dolan family announced an offer to take Cablevision private. The family owns 22.5% of Cablevision’s common stock. However, Cablevision has a dual capitalization consisting of one-vote-per-share Class A stock (which trades on the NYSE) and ten-vote-per-share Class B Stock (which is not publicly traded). The Dolan family owns all of the Class ... Cablevision Buyout

Antitrust Canons

Matt Bodie’s “Canons” project continues over at Prawfs, and antitrust is up to bat.  I took a stab at a reading list which I believe meet’s Matt’s criteria: articles that are essential to doing antitrust scholarship.  My long, but embarrassingly underinclusive list, is below the fold.  In particular, I have left out a good deal ...

GM/Ford: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

When teaching antitrust as I am this fall, a time always comes during the semester when I need to give my students an example of a merger whose implications for competition are so obviously adverse that the antitrust authorities would surely seek an injunction against the merger under Section 7 of the Clayton Act. My ... GM/Ford: An Idea Whose Time Has Come?

Hovenkamp on the Indirect Purchaser Rule

I’ve had the pleasure of spending the last few weeks curled up with Herbert Hovenkamp’s wonderful new book, The Antitrust Enterprise: Principle and Execution, which I’m reviewing for the Texas Law Review. Hovenkamp is a sharp thinker and a wonderfully clear writer, and the book is a fantastic read for scholars and students alike. As ... Hovenkamp on the Indirect Purchaser Rule

Paternalism and the iPod, Part Trois

The WSJ Law Blog reports (via this AP Report) that the French law allowing regulators to force Apple to make its iPod compatible with rival offerings went into effect Thursday. “Me too” regulatory movements are already underway in Britain, Norway, Sweden, Poland and Denmark. This, as Microsoft plans to introduce “Zune,” its entry into the ... Paternalism and the iPod, Part Trois

Cramer on Sirius/XM

A few weeks ago I suggested here that a merger between the two satellite radio firms, Sirius and XM, would not necessarily be as much of an antitrust problem as Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin seems to think. Now market analyst Jim Cramer has weighed in on the issue and encouraged Karmazin to have Sirius do ... Cramer on Sirius/XM

HCA Deal has "go shop" provision

I took a quick look at the HCA merger agreement to see whether any provisions would catch my eye. One did. The agreement contains a “go shop” provision (see earlier discussion of “go shops” here). Until 11:59 p.m. (EST) on September 12, 2006, HCA is free to solicit competing bids (see Section 7.4), although if ... HCA Deal has "go shop" provision
