Monopolies? Seriously, tech industry in general is probably one of the most dynamic market right now. Most big players secure dominance for barely 10 years, and only a select few will continue its legacy for any time longer than that. New players pop up providing new goods and services pop up all the time as well. If companies in tech industry are referred to as monopolies, there is no tangible meaning left in the term "monopoly".
- femto 15y agoThe article asks a valid question: "Why aren't the employees of the cartel members baying for blood?" Presumably it is because any compensation from their employer will be more than cancelled by damage to their career, by the same employer? There is a monopoly at work though. Since prospective employers engage data mining companies to build profiles from any and all Internet content, and there is only one Internet, the Internet has a monopoly over employee's reputations. If your reputation is tarnished on the Internet, for example, by being named as a plaintiff against your employer, it will be tarnished with every employer.
