EU Considering Another MS Antitrust Suit

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the egg-them-on dept.

mesozoic writes "Yahoo! News is reporting that the European Union is considering *another* antitrust suit against Microsoft, this time having to do with anticompetitive behavior in the market for mobile phone software. While I haven't seen any signs Microsoft is going to dominate the industry here in the States, cell phones are a much bigger deal in Europe, so I can understand why they'd be nervous."

    Remember, it's not a crime to have a monopoly.

    Anti-trust law kicks in when you have a monopoly, and then try to use the advantages of that monopoly product to try to force your way into a marketplace where you're supposed to compete. You have to face your competitors on a level playing field.
