An implicitly cooperating duopoly may be profitable to both companies but both must be willing to share. An attempt by either party to gain a monopoly by price cutting not only destroys profitability for both, but is illegal under the Sherman Act Sec. 2. The common price of the duopolists must be low enough to exclude undifferentiated third parties. BOL has long experience in similar markets. I think they are willing to share, but their target share may be bigger than VISX would like to yield. Because of wealth differences, I think VISX must move over and make room.
