Because they'd go out of business, as new compebreastors keep popping up, and they never get to recover their losses from the "dump" stage.

Can you give an example of such a market, where one company, undercut everyone, then raised prices, and kept them there, *without* govt force being involved?

Because you don't look hard enough, and you artificially limit the "market" PCs are a small segment of the computer market, dwarfed by embedded and other computer segments, and MS doesn't do too well there.

so what? that's business, find an advantage, and use it.

depends on how they become a monopoly, and how they maintain it. If force is involved, like the phone monopoly was, (the govt granted the monopoly, and enforced it) then yes, it's pretty inelastic. Can you show me an example of a natural monopoly like that? something that isn't backed up by govt force?
