I could be wrong on that but it seems similar to the monopoly accusation brought on microsoft for preinstalling Internet explorer and effectively driving Netscape and similar browsers out of business because of how difficult it was for those browsers to compete.</p> I think the allegedly damaged party here would be rival search engines which are at a distinct disadvantage in taking some of the massive mobile web traffic produced on iPhone.

But everyone else competeing in the same space would be the damaged parties; RIM, Microsoft, Nokia (if you look at the mobile OS side of it). And then Mozilla and Microsoft in the browser space. Reading the entire article though it isn't really that big a deal since they are allowed to cooperate to compete against a competitor. </p> <p>And also like it's mentioned the board member in question would most likely just resign from the board of one company if the FTC said they would file charges against them. </p> <p>Nothing will come of this.</p> Technically the plaintive would be the U.S. Government in any potential case.
