- Buy&Hold Microsoft's "other" monopoly is currently under - construction and under the name of Internet Gold. This time... - Bill Gates and Co. have decided to start in Europe. Currenly MSN Israel, next MSN Europe and maybe MSN China Microsoft's other monopoly which many have been unaware of, will exist between consumers and the Internet in Europe. At first it was by forming a gateway in which the world must pass through to use a computer, now they're quietly forming a similiar controlled gateway between the people and the internet. It's also evident they're using local European Internet Service Providers to carry out this master plan in particular a company by the name of Internet Gold, a Israeli Internet Service Provider than dominates the Mediterranean. Here's a quote from Microsoft's Internet Gold: "The firm also signed a pact with Microsoft Corp. in October in which both companies will initiate a Hebrew language Web search service on the Israeli Gold portal -- to be called MSN Israel." - - Another quote: "Internet Gold is a leading ISP in Israel. But the company plans to buy into ISPs in Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, Hungary, Turkey, Jordan, Egypt and the Palestinian Authority -- most of which Holtzman said can be had at bargain prices." - Source: http://biz.yahoo.com/rf/991202/50.html Contact: - Microsoft - Redmond, WA Internet Gold - Tel Aviv, Israel Questions that need to be answered: - Has anyone noticed this yet? - Will Microsoft succeed while putting little European and Asian ISP's out of business - Can a purely Internet based monopoly be regulated? Thanks for your response, Interested Citizen
