Post monopoly business model reminds me of RIM holding back BBM from iOS and Android devices before Whatsapp and other inter-operating system messaging platforms ate their lunch.
Would be interested in seeing companies that similar to IBM as Ben mentions, kept similar assets, but built new business models around them to accommodate a changing marketplace.
