mtnlady,

I've been following your discussion with Frank.

Barriers to entry that is created through market/pipeline/infrastructure dominance is tougher to call exactly when the 'king' just took over the jungle and controls (not coexists with) the competition

I understand your point but still disagree. The essence of a Gorilla is that it controls the value chain (suppliers, vendors selling products that add value to the Gorilla's products, and customers). Moreover, the members of the value chain do everything reasonably possible to ensure success of the Gorilla's products. They do so as a matter of survival. Wielding all that power, the Gorilla keeps its competitors off balance and at bay. That's much more power than any traditional barriers to entry approach.
