In the tablet market there is Apple, and there is who? Samsung is
counted at around 5% of US market, Amazon & B&N must have a
decent slice, and below them are dust mice of all other android tablets.
Worldwide figures projected for 2012 are Apple 47M units,
Android 27M. 64% might not be a monopoly, but it's a big number
considering the Android devices include such unspeakables as
Apad, Haipad and worse.

30% is too HIGH. Let's take your example figures ...
On the golf course, the bosses of Thyssenkrupp and Otis have a tete-a-tete, and
decide to put Kone out of business. With a combined size four times that of
their intended victim, it shouldn't be too hard.
In other words, even 23% should be suspect for monopoly abuse. As I say, the UK
trigger figure is about 20%, because if that's the big fish in the pond it can
easily pick off smaller fry, and if there are two (or more) fish that size they
can easily collude to distort the market.
Saying "over 50%" totally misses the danger of illegal collusion and
cartels. A company with 50% doesn't need a cartel ...
