Re: Hard to argue The point is that under the Sherman AntiTrust laws it is illegal to use monopoly power in one industry to obtain market power in another.... For a case in point, if I provided Microsoft's electricity supply (a legal monopoly) what is to stop me from saying that they must use all the appliances that I specifically design for the nonstandard power supply (134V) that I will start sending down the power lines? This is innovation and what the customer wanted, too bad if I just happen to zap all those other 110/120V appliances.... Better still, let me just cut off his power supply because I don't like his friends. This is "healthy and aggressive" competition.
