    You’re quoting a sentence that defines anticompetitive practices, not a sentence that defines a monopoly.

    Here is a sentence from the same page that defines a monopoly:

    Courts do not require a literal monopoly before applying rules for single firm conduct; that term is used as shorthand for a firm with significant and durable market power — that is, the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors.

      the long term ability to raise price or exclude competitors.

      Which you seem to take for a granted, but won’t provide even a theoretical for how that might have happened here?
