Can you explain what this means: " Under antitrust law, a requirement that manufacturers include a competitor's product is usually reserved for cases in which a monopoly owns the sole method of distribution, such as a vital pipeline or electrical lines ", this came from CNN report covering the Microsoft case. So, it indicated that NSCP had no other ways to distribute its products, since MSFT owns the sole distribution method of the browser, and that is why the DOJ required MSFT to include one copy of NSCP product in every WIN98 OS it sells. Is this correct ? Can NSCP distribute its products through the Internet ?
