No it's not. You cannot wripe away a monopoly's revenue stream in the name of regulation, you can however ensure that the competition isn't harmed in any way.

Google should simply offer a choice - install whatever competitor's service, but license Android for $30. Like Microsoft does and gets away with. Would that seem fair to you? Because that chat eventually gets passed on to the end user.
- jonathanyc 8y agoAntitrust law is for protecting competition; I think you’re confusing it with something else. It’s simply not the case that Microsoft “does and gets away with” antitrust violations because of charging money, this is mentioned in the article. Also, I realized I’ve seen you a lot in these sorts of threads posting fanatically pro-Google stuff, what’s with that?
