Clinton has challenged vertical mergers, brought cases based on the 'innovation theory,' and taken on the Microsoft Corp. While Senate majority leader. Dole sought to abolish all limits to media concentration during debates on the Telecommunications Act of 1996. Deregulation is of key importance to the Dole team.
