Monopoly = Dictatorship => we get screwed.
Reliance is not going to be a dictator ever. Would have been possible
during the license Raj but not now. There are far too many options too
choose rom. And monopoly is very difficult to achieve! Even a cartel (with
reference to an alliance statement by Vihan) will stick only across the
supply chain and not amongst players in the same market.
It's difficult even in a duopolistic situation! Pepsi- Coke.
To cite another instance; the OPEC cartel formed in the 1980's broke down
pretty soon.
It's only a matter of time before some smaller/larger player/s change the
rules of the game. Case in point FOSS over proprietory software.
