That would be considered illegal by US trade laws if it could be proven or was sufficiently argumented. Unfortuantely I don't believe the courts would accept a plea case after the aquisition had gone through. The big mobile carriers get into this sort of fight a lot though.

But there are many other explanations which (while not as likely in the opinions of many observers) would at very least create a large slice of "reasonable doubt" (and occasionally actually be true!).
- DarkStar851 13y agoThat's a fair point, I think most courts would consider it an acceptable buyout within reasonable doubt, largely because of the rest of the huge competition in this market and the previous owners accepting the deal.
- devindotcom 13y agoYeah, it'd be illegal unless you were to truly value these innovators as potential contributors and then just not give a shit until this potentially powerful and creative company (that agreed to the sale of course) is a distant memory.
