It was always 'concentrated'... on selling *stuff*.
Now the producers of *stuff* are concentrated, cf. Altria instead of P 
Morris.... Kraft.... Nabisco.

Likewise the folks that provide the medium to foist the *stuff* with.

Could you consider that "...mixing communication with commercialism was 
a fundamental mistake.
As questionable as allowing a mining company to manage our natural 
resources."

...and IMHO just a damaging to humanity.
