For every gmail, how many independent email providers do you think exist out there?
- mr_00ff00 3y agoRight but isn’t that what they are claiming would drive people away from the big companies? Why would you choose to not pay for the big tech products and then pay for a smaller version?
- rglullis 3y agoBecause Big Tech demands big profits. They can not exist in worlds where they can not have a monopoly or oligopoly. Smaller companies and ISVs, on the other hand, will be better off if their market is commoditized. They won't have to spend so much to compete in R&D, they just need to find each the best way to serve their (comparatively) small customer base.
