Wagner 's study, entitled "Verizon and MCI: A Merger that Promotes
Competition," asserts that those who oppose the merger are stuck in the past
when they claim that the merger will increase concentration in wire -based
phone service. "In short," Wagner states, "measures of concentration based on

Operating Companies (RBOCs).
