A rule of thumb from the European Union is that it takes four competitors before prices come down. Two form a duopoly, and it's to the advantage of both parties not to lower prices. Four have trouble holding prices up. Whoever's losing market share tends to cut prices.

Antitrust law needs to reflect the rule of four.
