Isn't Pepsi vs. Coke the biggest duopoly ever? DevastatorIIC 02:53, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, there's plenty of other suppliers of softdrinks worldwide. -- KarlHallowell 22:09, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

web browsers: IE and FF = duopoly?

I don't know if Microsoft Internet Explorer vs. Mozilla Firefox in Web browser market really qualifies as a duopoly. -Grick(^{talk to me!}) 02:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, as Opera is a great browswer, but reports itself as Internet Explorer for compatibility. So usage stats show 87% Internet Explorer, 9% Firefox/Mozilla/Netscape (note most stats don't split), ~1% Opera (w/o those included in IE stats), and ~2% Safari. If anything I'd say IE has a monopoly, or there's alot of players not just 2. I vote for removing IE vs. Firefox. - --Bwave 05:47, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and removed it; if anybody disagrees, please add a comment here. -Grick(^{talk to me!}) 22:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since the major browsers are either bundled with operating systems or free to download, I'm not sure "market" would even be the correct term. Stebbins 01:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

American TV stations

Do we really need a list of American TV stations considered to be duopolies? It seems rather arbitrary to me - why not a list of Venezuelan duopolies as well? It doesn't make much sense to me, and I think the existing examples in the article are fine. Johnleemk | Talk 10:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fedex, UPS, Nasdaq, NYSE

Could someone please add FedEx Vs UPS and NYSE Vs NASDAQ ? Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.197.158.115 (talk) 05:57, 14 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Australian telecommunications market

I think this example should be removed. In fact Telstra is by far the largest supplier of telecommunications products in Australia with up to and often over 50% of the market for all telco products. While Optus is distinctly the second largest supplier (particularly in areas such as land lines) it does not possess nearly enough of a market share to be considered comparable to Telstra and therefore create a duopoly. Collectively alternate telecommunications providers possess more of a market share than Optus does alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.131.226.194 (talk) 08:37, 12 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Split the American TV stations off

It's a pretty messy section and could probably do with it's own article, or be incorporated into some related article about US TV stations (I'm sure there is one somewhre). It's just kinda out of place here
