Is it beneficial for there to be more than 2-3 competitors? That may be sufficient from a market POV. There are also areas that are ripe for competition. For example gmail hasn't changed/innovated in nearly a decade. Atlassian's Jira is the leader for bug tracking but is pretty terrible.

    I saw a paper once saying that in any market where the top four competitors controlled more than 60% of the market, they'd act as a de-facto cartel. (I wish I could find it again).
