Standard Oil was broken up over 100 years ago and Bell System took 70 years of antitrust complaints (the last case ran through courts for over a decade!) and even then Bell eventually caved and broke themselves up.

Never say never and all that...but it's not like past precedence has shown us the courts are trigger happy when it comes to breaking up monopolies.
