Areas of Potential Verizon, Cable Company "Lessened Competition" are Few, Really

The Department of Justice has been concerned about potential lessening of competition if Verizon, Comcast, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable and Bright House Networks were allowed to fully sell each other's services.
