  • That is a silly thing to say. Being big AND abusing your market power in an anti-competitive way is being a monopoly.

    • If you sell my competitors product, you will not get the discount all other clients are getting, and your orders will go to the bottom of the pile. (Intel crushing AMD)
    • If you offer your product on any other point of sale, your product will never be highlighted. (Amazon to any seller)
    • You have no other choice than to buy electricity from us, so you will pay whatever price we say. (Power companies)
    • We will hard-code all our applications to use our own browser, make changing the default as convoluted as possible. (Microsoft in the browser select)
    • If anyone other than us repairs our product, the software will simply not allow you to use the product. (Apple, John Deere, many other companies)
    • We will take all the sales data, find the biggest earning products, have them produced for us too, and then undercut your product and bankrupt you by always pointing the customer at our knock off version instead of yours. (Amazon again)
