### Comment:
But they broke up AT&amp;T

### REPLY:
Yeah but to use a phone in the U.S. you needed to buy it from AT&amp;T and have it manufactured by AT&amp;T, and pay for service from AT&amp;T.  
  
 Microsoft had competition in Apple and Linux, Amazon has plenty of ecommerce and cloud competition (GCP, Azure, OpenStack).
