This is tantamount to three seperate companies all saying they own the same turnpike. And I doubt anytime soon any of them will be fighting it out. That would make too much sense from our perspective. What's more likely and in each of their interest is -- proposterous as this sounds were this in the tangible world -- each company will build their own tollgates along the same stretch of road and have all the cars pay three times as much.
... Unless Congress (hah!) does something or the Courts (in 2005 or 2008) decide things. Of course it might be an empty highway by then, but hey, as long as they have all gotten their cut and enjoying their mai-tais in Bali.
