The so called ‘minimum differentiation principle’ by Hotelling (1929) is inappropriate in this market category. One can see the example of our ‘optimal differentiation principle’ in a web browser market, where Microsoft’s Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator have a certain degree of differentiation.

minutes to use the toilet! The arbitrator was, I think, as dumbfounded as I was and did not credit that preposterous, obviously fabricated story.
