Instead of the government investigating the MPEG LA for anti-trust violations, how about they spend some time fixing the patent system. This whole h.264/VP8 brouhaha is a symptom, not the disease.
Let's remember that different actors in the government have their own motivations. Investigating the MPEG LA is a DOJ issue. The DOJ's full of long-term government employees who are motivated by their own career metrics.
Fixing the patent system will require legislation, which is a function of our elected officials. These officials, really (and tragically) by necessity at this point, are driven by funding their re-election campaign.
