And in the UK, 20% is a big enough market share to get the Monopolies and
Mergers Commission seriously interested in you...

| Not quite. There has to be, in
the US, some
activity
that is per se
illegal. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The Bell System was an ACTUAL monopoly (no one else in, or allowed to be in, the
market) in many (not quite all) markets, and there was nothing illegal about
that -- they were actually regulated by state, local and national governments --
but there were antitrust lawsuits going on a lot of the time, which contended a
MISUSE of the monopoly, and they finally consented to the breakup for their own
reasons (they wanted into markets not available to them, such as computers) --
it wasn't externally imposed without consent.
Monopoly, per se, isn't illegal, although you have all those who are trying to
bring the biggy down (sometimes even with good reason).
I'd like to see the law that says monopolies are illegal in the U.S.
