The legislature doesn't have to come up with every minuscule detail because it is impossible to have a detailed plan which would make all sides happy. They only have to come up with a certain sane law and then let the companies figure out how to best execute to stay alive and well with the help of the free market. And that's the best thing about it - if there is a demand, the split companies will stay alive but their reduced size will also allow for the competition to come into the market. I don't worry a little bit that some destructive anti-monopoly government action would cause any high-demand market area to stay empty in the free market economy. And needless to say, it is also better for consumers.
