"Standard case law indicates that 70% of the market is enough to
assume a monopoly. "
In your theory, when Netscape had more than 80% browser market shares, Netscape had a monopoly. Netscape bundled its email client to its browser to kill small email vender like Endore(?), it should be sued by DOJ for its anti-trust practise. Right? RealNetwork now has more than 80% stream media player market, it has a monopoly. Quicken has more than 70% financial software market, it has a monopoly too. Wordperfect, Lotus, Novell all had more than 80% their respective market before, so they all had monopoly. Watch out AOL, don't increase your market shares any further, otherwise you have a monopoly too. Then there are too many "monopolies", and those "monopolies" are too easy to be replaced, market can easily unseat those so called "monopolies", then why bother to afraid them? Why do you need the government to protect some whining babies? |
