I'm not sure antitrust is the correct rule to apply here, there are many retailers still in the market. I'd be much more happy if they were investigated for predatory pricing. That's the real issue with Amazon imoh.

That's basically a key difference between America and Europe, how both understand "monopoly" or "anti-trust".

  Additionally, this is an investigation into "anti-competitive practices" by the "competition commissioner". Not into "monopoly" by the "antitrust", the title is misleading.

Antitrust isn't actually about monopolies. It's about anti-comptitive business practices. While market share usually matters, there are a number of antitrust violations where market share is irrelevant.
