>What do you think? I think that the author did an admirable job of attempting to prove that 2+2=5. He claims that since both companies will compete against each other, that both companies will grow their marketshare faster than they could without competition. He made a vague mention that AMZN and Ebay should collude to not compete for specific product categories, and "split up" the market. Somehow in his equation, both sides would end up with more traffic than if they were a monopoly- he started to describe how customers would check prices at both sites, but of course this conflicts with his statement a few sentences earlier that they wouldn't carry the same products. I dont know what that guy was smoking, but it must have been good.
