It would only be "illegal" if their collaboration resulted in a monopoly. It clearly doesn't. Two businesses collaborating to fend off threatening competitors is perfectly fine. In fact, it's a good thing insofar as it raises their ability to compete, preserving the competitiveness of the market.

Controls on monopolies and abuses thereof are not the whole of anti-trust law. EDIT: To be clear, I'm not saying this is illegal, just that the fact that it doesn't create a monopoly is not, alone, the reason why it isn't illegal.
- koboll 7y agoYes, my comment oversimplified it, but that's a minimum requirement that isn't being met.
