The rationale for accepting such claims is that any harm to competition would result even without the merger, and so should not be attributed to it.h

A guide to broadcast complaints – Ofcomfs guide

What can you complain about? - We can consider complaints about programmes transmitted by all broadcasters licensed in the UK as well as the BBC and S4C. However, we cannot consider complaints about accuracy and impartiality in BBC TV and radio programmes. These complaints have to be dealt with by the BBC Trust. Ofcom is a post-transmission regulator - that means we can only look at complaints about programmes that have already been broadcast. You can also complain to us if you believe you've been treated unfairly in a programme - or that your privacy has been infringed without good reason in the programme or in the way it was made.

Economic Recovery Initiative

hThe American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 will provide over $500 billion of funding for programs to jumpstart the U.S. economy, save and create jobs, and invest in the country's future. The potential risk of fraud and collusion increases dramatically when large blocks of funds, such as those associated with the Recovery Act, are quickly disbursed. The Antitrust Division provides extensive resources to help you identify fraud and collusion and report possible antitrust violations associated with Recovery Act funding.h
