This project would be interesting only to the extent it accurately showed the negative impact of monopolies.
Unfortunately, this subject area is full of strong emotions and opinions that make it hard for people to be objective.
For example the article you link says that Google and Blackberry worked jointly on the 1:1 format phone, and jointly decided to stop working on it. That hardly sounds like an abusive monopolist.
And sure, at that point Android was more popular than the BlackBerry OS. But this actually demonstrates healthy competition. I had a Blackberry for work (edit to clarify: running BlackBerry’s own OS and software), and so did all my coworkers. Blackberry was the dominant mobile platform once. Through complacency and poor decision-making, they stopped innovating and competing. And thus, allowed new products with zero installed base on day one to come in and take their market.
