I know this is the obvious rebuttal that everyone trots out when asked about anticompetitive behavior from Apple. But I'm not sure it's actually true.
I am not a lawyer, but I think you can be brought up on charges of anticompetitive behavior without "having a monopoly".
Can someone with more knowledge in this area comment?

There are other ways anticompetitive behavior can be prosecuted, but they don't seem to apply to what Apple is doing here: http://www.ftc.gov/bc/edu/pubs/consumer/general/zgen01.pdf http://www.ftc.gov/bc/edu/pubs/consumer/general/zgen01.pdf That PDF provides a pretty good summary of the FTCs scope, and under the current mobile market, it doesn't seem like they'd have any reason to involve themselves, especially when alternatives readily exist.
