You really have no idea about the actual regulations do you?
You're just arguing against a strict definition of the word "monopoly, which is utterly besides the point.
Again, the regulations in the EU speak of the term "market dominance", in order to decide whether a case is anti-competitive or not. They do not (as far as I'm aware) mention the word "monopoly", except perhaps in a figurative sense.
- scarface74 7y agoWell, if I have “no idea”, please give an example of where “market dominance” was defined as narrowly as you’re trying to define it.
- tripzilch 7y agoWell I'm not sure what you have been referring to, but there has been this one major tech-related anti-trust case in the EU recently, and it revolved entirely around abuse of market dominance: https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_19_1770 https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/IP_19_... The EU website should have all the further answers you need, all the cases, translated into all the languages, and the regulations written down in relatively simple language (you don't need a lawyer to understand). It's really all there: https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/doing-business-eu/competition-rules_en https://ec.europa.eu/info/business-economy-euro/doing-busine... There's even a search engine so you can look up all the cases.
- scarface74 7y agoWell, your “examples” was concerning the “market” for search engines where Google is the dominant player. Not some made up market of “search engines you can access by going to google.com”. The same type of “market” you are trying to make up for iOS.
