I have asked myself the same question, why doesn't Mozilla file an antitrust complain or something like that against Apple? They're not only bundling their own browser, but also actively preventing competitors from using the platform.
- bryanlarsen 14y agoIf Apple actually had a monopoly share in the smartphone market, such a complaint would likely proceed quite quickly. They don't have a monopoly market share so they face many fewer constraints under anti-trust law.
- jlmendezbonini 14y agoWhat does a company need to have in order to be considered a monopoly? Is there a legal definition of monopoly in the U.S.A.? For the E.U. I quote Wikipedia: "By European Union law, very large market shares raise a presumption that a company is dominant, which may be rebuttable. If a company has a dominant position, then there is "a special responsibility not to allow its conduct to impair competition on the common market". The lowest yet market share of a company considered "dominant" in the EU was 39.7%." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly#Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monopoly#Law
