- rcthompson 14y agoFirst you have to prove in court that they are a monopoly.
- taligent 14y agoNothing wrong with being a monopoly so long as you don't use that monopoly to restrict competition.
- tikhonj 14y agoThere's nothing illegal with being a monopoly. That doesn't mean it isn't wrong. I think in most cases (with exceptions like utilities), not having monopolies leads to a healthier market than having them.
