Its a big number but still unfortunately just a slap on the wrist. They also recently were hit by a settlement case in Iowa http://www.news.com/2110-1014_3-6177312.html but even both combined is still less than a billion dollars to a company that has many billions banked. The moral of the story its ok to abuse monopoly positions the money you make will be far greater than the punishments that are supposed to dissuade you from doing so in the first place. If our justice department / state govs had any balls all 50 states would have fined them in a similar manner as Iowa did and maybe just maybe businesses would actually have to fear abusing monopoly positions again. Between Att and Microsoft though there is no reason not to abuse your power should you obtain it nobody will stop you!
