we've talked about the division between market dominant and competitive. we've talked about the fact it's subjected to a regulatory regime. again, it's subjected to a regulatory regime because it has not one monopoly but two monopolies that control what happens within the mail. not only over the carriage of mail but also the o'deposit of mail in mail receptacles. now, i haven't said anything about prices. the only thing i'm going to say about prices is before the enactment of the postal accountability act the post 58 service was quite proud of itself in saying we have always been able to operate by keeping postal prices within the ranges of inflation. well, no one thought that was going to be different the day the postal accountability act was passed. sxvth, we ended up going through a deep recession that had some structural impacts on just about every business there was in america. but what's the problem when you see that the cost of operating the system are exceeding the revenues that you're now able to gain because of the transformation that has occurre

large and crucial industries are dominated by a few powerful companies which have grown with the economy rewritten the rules of competition. what are the economic and legal rules these companies live by? what has big business done for and to the consumer? "whatever happened to price competition?" with the help of economic analyst richard gill we'll examine these questions on this edition of "economics u$a." i'm david schoumacher. there's no business bigger than the auto business. if you've shopped for a car recently this is a familiar sight. it looks like real competition a variety of products at a variety of prices. but is what you see what you get? it was when you bought one of henry ford's model ts. henry ford didn't invent the car, and he didn't invent the assembly line, but he brought the two together and gave america its first mass-produced and mass-purchased car. ford was an inventor and mechanic by trade, and no effort was spared to improve the car and to improve the process by which it was built. the tin lizzie looked like the same car year after year but ford's mechanical geniu

you can find other search engines, but google holds a very dominant position. and if you do that, well, you should not sort of misuse or abuse the powers that you have. of course, i think it's obvious you should congratulate google for being successful and innovative, and helping us all quite a lot, but for me the congratulations stops when you see that a dominant position it being used in a neighboring market where you're not dominant to sort of help yourself to a better position but not on the merits of competition. >> ifill: i know you said that all these cases are different, but microsoft in the end paid billions of dollars in fines and it took themselves years and years. intel is still aexpeelg still in trouble against the european commission on this. what-- how do these kinds of complaints, these charges that you're bringing, change corporate behavior? do they make things better or are microsoft and intel doing what they've always done? >> i think it's very important. there are thousands and thousands and thousands of businesses who compete on the meritz

they will be dominant forever. emily: do you see one or the other becoming more dominant than the rest? peter: it is always difficult to judge this, but if i had to pick one, i do tend to think of google as the one that is on an incredible arc at this point. emily: why? peter: i think the core search monopoly is powerful. they are trying to extend it into all these other areas. emily: their monopoly is in search but they are exploring so many different things, robotics, google glass, self-driving cars. do you applaud that? peter: absolutely. although in a business sense, they are all attempts to extend the monopoly. emily: which of the google project are you most excited about? peter: i think self-driving cars would change transportation maybe as much as much as the development of the car itself. emily: you compare compelling startups to cults. should start-ups be more like cults? peter: they should not be like cults in the sense of believing something that's wrong. but it is always a good sign if there is an inten
