As David Korton notes in his
book, When Corporations Rule the World, "economists consider a
domestic market to be monopolistic when the top firms account for more than

are monopolistic, because a 'big 3' or 'big 4' control most of production. With
computers, it's basically just Microsoft with 90%+ of the personal computer
operating system market.
