We will not be saying anything further," the company stated.

The actions of a monopoly player in a particular business area have different qualitative effects and far greater quantitative effects than the same actions performed by a non-monopoly player. Also, the most logical business strategy for a monopoly player differes from that of a non-monopoly player. Thus it is logical to hold monopoly players to a stricter standard of behavior in order to preserve competition and benefit "We the People". I'm surprised that you would ask the question.
