    They offer multiple products and services. Each of which can have a respective monopoly.

      OK but what monopoly do they have? I can’t even think of one, let alone two.

        Are you seriously comparing PCs to Android phones and pretending they’re the same market? Lol

        You may as well be saying Luxottica can’t possibly have a monopoly on manufacturing glasses as there are plenty of manufacturers of binoculars.

  They can be monopolies in their respective industries. They are not directly competing in hardware or services in their most profitable products.

  Duopolies are also an issue
