Now that our media companies and it appears are policies are traded for cash, what is there to check the continuing consolidation of power and diminishing of democracy?

This consolidation really started in the mid-1990s but picked up speed and is still continuing. In the last 15 years, about 150 companies have been acquired or merged. Most of the consolidation is confined to the top 10 builders, who are acquiring companies.

The media is absolutely essential to the functioning of a democracy. It's not our job to cozy up to power. We're supposed to be the check and balance on government.

When you look into business media, it's all about large, publicly traded companies. But the heart and sole of the economy is in private, closely held companies, like ECCO.

Companies like Cisco are promoting idea that the ability to manage these policies can be done in the network efficiently. Other companies are saying that's true, but the network doesn't know what all the policies are and there are natural places from which policies emerge, whether that's the development tools, etc. They're both right.

Where were they when Mr. and Mrs. Gomez or Mr. and Mrs. Garcia were being charged $40 to wire $100? Where were they when the mortgage companies were charging folks the maximum allowable interest that the laws provide for? Where were they when people were having to spend 10 to 15% of their payroll check just to cash the check. It is not enough to come out and say, 'Here we are. We've hired Jose.
