I am writing in response to the Commission's request for comment published in the Federal Register on January 17, 2003.

The Rule of Reason as currently applied by the courts rests upon neoclassical price theory, an economic paradigm that assumes that legitimate competition consists of unbridled technological rivalry, unconstrained by nonstandard contracts.
