Competition is not a secure principle. It is not only the state laws, regulations and taxes than can threaten the market situation (which is an scientific idealization, not always a correct picture of reality), but also the monopoly, oligolopoly, and the coinciding-interests-of-all-competitors situations. Especially during the buildup for a new product field, e.g. due to technologic progress, the last situation is somehow probable to occur, and go unchecked. Maybe to the customer's disadvantage. That a scheme could succeed to diminish state power and to some extent replace it by company/market organisation power over the consumer can be taken as a result from the processes pointed out in the stratfor paper we discussed yesterday.
