Re: Monopoly
said by Corvus  :
It's a partnership between Linksys and Vonage, to be considered as monopoly, Linksys has to offer their own VoIP service.
Flat out wrong as a general statement. Antitrust law covers a "conspiracy in restraint of trade", which includes two firms acting in concert as well as anticompetitive acts by a single firm.
(However, indications are that this SIPphone/Linksys/Vonage lawsuit seems to be based more on deceptive advertising claims than traditional antitrust/monopoly--so both Corvus's statement and my response to it may not relate directly to the case at hand.)
