If a company uses a monopoly in one industry to benefit them in another industry that can be an anti trust violation. No collusion is required.
The famous Microsoft anti trust case wasn't about collusion, but about using OS dominance to create browser dominance.
- extra88 9y agoThank you for the correction. Monopoly cases are extremely difficult to prove and rarely brought, regardless of which party is in power. With ISPs, if consumers can choose Verizon or Comcast, neither is a monopoly but both could still be acting against competitors (or simply people who didn't pay their extortion) to the detriment of their customers.
