Where do you see their absolute market dominance... I checked here for example http://gs.statcounter.com/ http://gs.statcounter.com/ and for browsers globally it's 63% that's not a monopoly... I checked here https://www.statista.com/statistics/216573/worldwide-market-share-of-search-engines/ https://www.statista.com/statistics/216573/worldwide-market-... for search engine and 90% is pretty close but it's not a monopoly... contrast that with MS in the late 90s according to https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2012/12/13/microsofts-market-share-drops-from-97-to-20-in-just-over-a-decade/#5361b19b51cf https://www.forbes.com/sites/timworstall/2012/12/13/microsof... and you have 97% that's a monopoly if it's abused which it was proven they did.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Corp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor....
again i find it interesting it's hard to talk about google being a monopoly and not mentioning MS...
- celticmusic 7y agoGoogle doesn't have market dominance in the same way that Verizon doesn't have market dominance in a specific region because you can also get dialup. Technically correct, but not truthful.
- luckylion 7y ago> or browsers globally it's 63% that's not a monopoly... You should look at markets, not globally. Google doesn't have a global monopoly (and likely never will because China, Russia won't allow their web to be controlled by a US company), but it has a monopoly in lots of markets (read: countries).
