Re: One Representatives view - We can all sleep more peacefully now.



Bockhorst Roland quoted Rep. Talent:


>6. Computer companies and consumers are also benefiting (by receiving more
>software at increasingly lower prices)

Yet behind the scenes these companies complain about lack of choice.

> 9. Microsoft controls only 4 % of the software industry.

That's an odd definition of the relevant market.

I'm sure Boeing has a miniscule part of the market for transportation
machinery once you factor in trucks, cars, trains, ocean-going vessels,
and space shuttles.  But they still have a mighty big slice of the
airplane business.
