That depends on jurisdiction.
In the EU, it is "dominant market position" (and explicitly so) that's the threshold for the Commission to take competition action, for instance.
- notatoad 6y agowould AWS be considered "dominant" though? they are the indisputably the market leader, but there's plenty of competition (not trying to argue they aren't dominant. just curious)
- CRConrad 6y agoPresumably they could. I mean, if the EU legislators had intended for a monopoly to be necessary to be considered “dominant”, then they could have written “monopoly”, couldn't they? They didn't write that, so it seems safe to presume they didn't intend that. And if anyone is dominant, then who, if not the market leader?
- M2Ys4U 6y agoI don't see why not. British Airways only had a 38% market share when they were sued for abusing their dominant market position in 1998 (which was upheld by the Court of Justice in 2007)
