Gerald, I'm not a lawyer or an economist. But it seems to me that, in general, the question "did action X harm consumers" is an impossible question to answer precisely. Rather, I think the law should focus on the process and make presumptions one way or another about behaviors.

My analogy would be drunk driving--- someone gets pulled over while drunk. Well, did his driving drunk actually harm people? Can anyone prove that he would have hit someone with his car had he not been pulled over? No, but you pull the guy over anyway.

Also, could you help me understand the difference between a monopoly product and an essential facility? They sound awfully similar.
