There's always room for competition, which, at the end of the day, is good for consumers. Their service(s) might not appeal to you, but it might appeal to the next guy.
Recall what the mobile OS space was when Google launched Android in late 2007? Yep, even Ballmer made fun of the new OS. Today does anybody care about a mobile OS from Microsoft? Sure, we're not talking about the same type of business, but the key is competition, choice.
I remember when Cisco networking devices were virtually the only game in town. Then along came Juniper Networks. Today, Juniper is doing mighty good.
The key to success in a business that's dominated by the proverbial 800-pound gorilla is to find a niche and step in.
