Just looking at the Rupert Murdoch take-over of BSkyB.. Do you guys (both the UK and the US) have any laws against single people/groups/organisations owning large parts of the media? I know we (Norway) do - the government can intervene if it feels that a purchase interferes with "a broad media service", basically if it feels that a single person/group gets too much power. They stopped (well, told them to give up other ownerships) something similar a couple of years ago, actually.
