- mcintyre1994 11y agoIs that if no competitor also has 25%? Android and iOS must both be above 25% in the UK, which of those are considered a monopoly?
- lambda 11y agoDon't think about the laws in terms of a single monopoly. The laws should be more accurately described as anti-trust or competition laws. A handful of large players, each with less than 50% market share, can also distort the market and engage in anti-competitive tactics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Competition_law
