Perhaps but the DOJ now has the power to define anything in such a narrow way that it becomes a "monopoly". AOL has a dominant share of the IM market. They will not allow competing products to interact with it. They are denying some consumers the ability to board the bus, much less just ride on the back of the bus...sounds like the interstate commerce act can be brought to bear against AOL as well.

All I'm saying is that once the lawyers are involved, logic and what you think really doesn't matter anymore. Many had a jolly time laughing at MSFT. I said within 10 years the government will knock on AOL's door. That day may come sooner than we would all like.
