UK decision on RE-Harcourt: full text available

[David Goodman <dgoodman@Princeton.EDU>]

I call attention to the full document produced by the 
UK's Competition Commission:

http://www.competition-commission.gov.uk/reports/457reed.htm

In spite of my views about the ultimate decision, I consider this
report in many respects a valid and classic statement of the STM
publishing marketplace and electronic publishing in general, and
recommend a careful reading, especially of chapter 2: Conclusions.
