Absolutely. Vertical integration can be a great way for businesses and consumers to save money on overhead, but it doesn't work like that for natural monopolies, and should not be tolerates for businesses that are gatekeepers to our intellectual interaction with the world (news, educational media, Internet)

Is there not a chance they're planning on doing this themselves? They spent all that money on the Xfinity rebrand. At this point, Comcast is essentially Xfinity + NBCUniversal.

>At the very least, we need to break Comcast into content producer and content distributor (ISP).

Sure, we should break up Apple into software and hardware, maybe even content too. And google into search and service.

Vertical monopoly is just another world for efficient.
