Dont get me wrong, I understand that one company controlling 40% of a particular market is a lot, however, it takes 50% + 1 to make up a majority. so as long as we continue to preach and practice free enterprise, how can we legitimately blur the lines of what it actually takes to dominate something. so google gets punished because they do it better than everyone else? we this sort of mentality, then we need microsoft to break up into about 8 different companies because the windows OS "dominates" the market. i'm not harping or trying to be sarcastically mean or anything, i seriously asking.



i remember when this went down, and it has bugged me since day one. this is exactly the type of thing i am referring to above. i will never be able to understand how the FCC could actually make that ruling!? while i dont like microsoft, i couldnt help but feel bad for them when this happened. at the time, it was just like, they were doing things better than everyone else and got smacked in the face for it. anyways, i could argue all day about this, but I am with you IOWA...we preach free enterprise and why certain things should or should not happen accordingly (not looking to start a political argument, i know where that forum is ), but we are so quick to blur the lines for the pettiest argument of the day.
