...hype about a bidding war was the fact that the economics of the deal could work only for AT&T, because of the synergies Armstrong's strategy made possible. No other company was in a position to provide each of MediaOne's subscribers with as wide an array of services and soak up all those revenue streams. (Think about it: Would you rather buy phone service from your local cable company or AT&T?) No other company, in other words, could justify the $4,700 per subscriber that AT&T was willing to pay.

However, this near-sighted approach neglects the very qualities of a "nebulous" conception of blocking. Each student's unique first-year experience produces an infinitely diverse array of personal bonds. Reducing any particular network of friendships to mere factors of size of intimacy ignores their individual richness and worth. It is up to each individual student--through personal introspection and open dialogue--to determine the ideal blocking group. The end result might happen to be a large, small, tight-knit or diffuse group. It could mean a group that encapsulates one's entire social circle or one that exists solely...
