There's a reason it hasn't happened yet; it's not some sort of deterministic process. Many people worked hard to stop it from happening, and a new FCC chairman could change the status quo.

As another example of a self-defeating prophecy, consider Y2K. There was no major disaster because thousands of people worked incredibly hard to make sure there was no disaster.

Sometimes working in technology feels like working stage crew -- the audience doesn't give a crap about your existence until you screw up.
