I really think you are all over reacting to what is essentially an exercise in deck chair shuffling.
As chuck implies - there is no competition. The model for competition is the one that has been abandoned, mainly because the previous restructure was along profit lines (which is based on the charging regime - the thing that really needs fixing). Who wanted to buy a whole lot of unprofitable control towers and be forced to pay a 'service' fee to the federal government? Turns out: nobody!.
At the end of the day, planes have to take off, cruise descend and land. To do that you need air traffic controllers, people to recruit, administer and train them, you need ATM equipment and infrastructure, the people to maintain it, and you need to keep up with technology. These are all fundamental truths that no amount of weasel word management-speak and hype ever change. In fact, what is old is inevitably re-badged as something new after a few cycles. And all the time the planes keep coming and going, the radar keeps turning and the managers keep changing and promising new and better things - which are really just microwaved re-heats of something old but with newer trinkets thrown in.
Funnily enough, these managers, accountants and spinners come and go very quickly, but the air traffic controllers, technicians and other professionals stick around for a long long time, and continue to keep getting on with the same job 24/7..... with an ever wryer and wryer subtle grin, and a hardened edge to their lack of surprise at the next wunderkind who comes up with a 'new' idea.
Relax.
Leave the intrigue and politicking to those who have shown themselves to know or care little about aviation and air traffic control - and leave the aviation and air traffic control to those who don't care about the intrigue and politics.
