Nihil, I don't claim to be a lawyer, so your accusation that I am legally illiterate may be true, at least to an accredited lawyer. However, I do back up what I say with facts.

In my previous message to you, I said that monopolies are not illegal. It is the abuse of monopolistic power that is illegal. For a reference, please visit the following link at the FTC's site:

ftc.gov

So while you may believe that Alcoa was the definitive case, it seems to this illiterate and childish person that the FTC is not sticking to the Alcoa case's legal premises too stringently.

BTW, sorry. I thought you were talking about Cisco not Nortel. My mistake.

All legal rhetoric aside, Nihil, do you really believe the FTC would prosecute Cisco or Nortel for having around 90% market share within a slice of the networking industry? Don't mean to be antagonistic. I'm just curious, as I am trying to determine if you are debating theoretics or really believe that your theories will be born out in reality.
