There appears to be an interesting analogy between this case and the Apple store. In each, the company flexes monopoly power over their customers -- Apple in selling apps to idevice users (traditionally an open market) and John Deere in repairing tractors. Neither has a complete monopoly on (tractors, phones, apps for phones, tractor repair) but the monopoly is within their sector of a market. Very curious to see how this plays out, as Deere's fortune may set a precedent that impacts Apple's fate.
