Be careful with this one. It can be illegal to agree not to compete (INAL).
- mmm_grayons 6y agoCould you elaborate on this? How would it be illegal to target a different market?
- 29083011397778 6y agoIf Google colludes with Microsoft to decide each can have one market, free of competition, that would be illegal. For example, Google trades the sub-thousand dollar laptop market (ceasing development of Chromebooks) for a monopoly in search.
- hoorayimhelping 6y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartel Cartels are usually thought of as groups in the same market colluding, but it's not limited to that. Two companies colluding not to compete in their respective markets is still a cartel.
- mmm_grayons 6y agoRight, but what was described is not collusion. It's just targeting a different market without much existing competition.
