Re:Why dones't the FTC butt out? (Score 1)

AOL owns 90% of the IM market share. that is over the 50% needed to be accused of having a monopoly. By AOL's continued refusal to allow other companies into the IM market it is participating in unfair and ILLEGAL business practices here in the US. This would not even be an issue if AOL was out of the US, or if AOL DID NOT have a 90% market share. They own their own software (aim) and network. Are software developers out there so inept that they can't write a different protocol and software?
