The large retailers are not monopolies though. Some would argue Amazon is, and therefore must be treated differently.

- scarface74 6y agoLast time I checked, Amazon doesn’t have a monopoly on servers, payment systems and shipping...
- uoaei 6y agoAnd what qualifies as a "monopoly" to you?
- spaced-out 6y agoWould you consider a company that controls 1/3rd of the market share a monopoly? Because that's how much of the cloud market AWS controls. https://www.statista.com/chart/18819/worldwide-market-share-of-leading-cloud-infrastructure-service-providers/ https://www.statista.com/chart/18819/worldwide-market-share-...
- scarface74 6y agoSo now we are calling “33%” a monopoly? But even AWS admits that only 5% of Enterprise workloads are using any cloud provider. Also that includes IAAS and PAAS and private cloud services not companies like Linode that offer just a VPS nor places like Rackspace. If you want a simple group of VPS’s to setup your own website to sell goods and you’re hosting on AWS (outside of Lightsail), you’re doing it wrong. I’m a cloud true believer, know the ins and outs of AWS well, etc and I wouldn’t use AWS - besides Lightsail maybe - if I just wanted a VPS.
- scarface74 6y agoDefinitely not 4% of retail or 37% of digital retail.
