John I - I was under the impression that certain business practices are what constitute anti competitive behavior, not market share in and of itself. You are correct, and your example of a patent is a good one. But, the line between anti-competitive and monopoly is not always clear (note that this is not unique to anti-trust law, it is true of all law to one degree or another). Thus, it is almost certainly true that Qualcomm, if they become a monopoly, will end up spending some time placating the US government (note that my personal opinion is that this isn't a bad thing, but any further discussion on this really belong's on Maurice's board <g>), although it is improbable that the government would bring suit against the Q, much less win a case against them.
