   In his antitrust column, Elai Katz analyzes a recent settlement that   
   highlights two important antitrust policy points.   
      
   By Elai Katz   
      
   The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) agreed to settle charges that a   
   telecommunications company violated a previous settlement agreement   
   put in place to resolve a merger investigation and permit the merger   
   to proceed. DOJ asserted that the company violated the prior agreement   
   by soliciting customers of a business that it had agreed to   
   divest. The divestiture and related non-solicitation provisions were   
   designed to address government concerns that the proposed acquisition   
   of another telecommunications company would have lessened competition   
   in the market for fiber-optic-based telecommunications services in   
   three cities.
