>> Sigh. It just gives a good explanation of the concept.

A good explanation of a rejected concept. You may want to see the bolded part in the reference paper.

Most of the recent antitrust claims involving loyalty programs have involved use of such programs at the wholesale level. In the remainder of this Section, we examine these recent cases and the economic theories of harm underlying the claims. These cases were chosen because they involve volume discounts with customer specific thresholds. In Part a, we examine the single product case with near exclusionary volume discounts in Barry Wright v. ITT Grinnell and Brooke Group v. Brown & Williamson. The first case involved an above cost volume discount that was based on buyers agreeing to take nearly all of their requirements from one seller. In the second, the Supreme Court set out high hurdles for a plaintiff to prevail in a predation case involving individualized below cost volume discounts. Part b examines the use of market share discounts in Concord Boat. All three cases resulted in judgment for the defendant, and all stress a focus on the actual facts or realities of the marketplace rather than on hypotheticals.
