The more stable/secure a monopoly is in its position the less incentive it has to deliver high quality services. If a company can build a monopoly (or oligopoly) in multiple markets, it can then use these monopolies to build stability for them all.

Both markets have to be attacked simultaneously by competitors to have a fighting chance. | ||
