Did they include commercial banking?...investment banking?...tv/cable/movie studios and distribution/record companies/commercial book and magazine publishing ("media")? Or by industrial did they mean "manufacturing"? And just how much more concentrated could aircraft, tires, petroleum refining, soap and other detergents, etc. get?

-I don´t know too much about the other things mentioned by John mage, but -I´m surprised about aircraft. At least if you consider jet commercial -aircraft, there has been a dramatic concentration in the last 50 years, -both in the USA and in the world. Nowadays, only Boeing and Airbus (and -Ilyushin and Tupolev in Russia, but only for the local market) makes -aircraft for more than 100 passengers. Before the 70´s we had also -Loockheed, Douglas, Convair, Sud Aviation, Bristol, De Havilland, etc.. -(many of those planes designed for long range travels carried less than -100 passengers, but they were the bigger in their time, so the comparison -is useful). Am I wrong???
