Yep, by the time the DOJ finishes this, I hope that normal market forces would have brought in new competition. It usually does. As the other post stated about Standard Oil, by the time the anti trust suit was brought, Texas had started to come on line and so had Russia. These two had more oil reserves than Standard had, and Standard ran into major problems trying to get them into the fold. In Texas, articles in papers ran against Standard using the paraphased slogen " Do you want some New York Yankee running our Texas oil." I think that may be what you are seeing in the TCI decision to use both MSFT Windows CE and Sun's Java. No one likes being tied to one tiger that could bite you in the end. Better to have another tiger looking over the shoulder of the first and waiting for it to make a mistake.
