    These guidelines are written in a way that seem like mergers shouldn’t be allowed at all. Mergers should be examined but it sometimes benefits both the public and the companies involved when two smaller companies are combined to go against a market dominator.

      It wouldn’t apply to smaller companies due to their small HHI score.
