In the past, the companies formed from a broken up monopoly are competitors. The company isn't broken up just along business lines.

- dheera 7y agoInteresting, but couldn't they choose to collaborate? It would seem to me that collaboration would be the path of least resistance, in which case they could largely maintain all their existing infrastructure and just effectively swap half their employee badges for ones with new logos. Even if they were forced to use a different physical building, they could form a corporate alliance and share customer loyalty. What makes them choose to compete, when given the choice?
- bryan_w 7y agoYeah, I don't think people have thought that far. Seems easy enough for the broken up Instagram and whatsapp to instantly declare insolvency and close up shop while conveniently getting jobs for the newly formed Facebook photos app that would also be conveniently released at the same time.
