And with the exception of companies with a Universal
Service Obligation (national telcos and other utility companies
usually), the vendor can sell to whoever they like.

Cheers
Martin

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone"

Isn't it up to the vendor to decide who's business they want? I'm not
saying
I agree with ANYTHING Microsoft does, but if the discussion is 'what gives
them the right to dictate which browser is used to view their site' then it
comes back to the question, 'do I (as a vendor) have the right to decide
who
I do business with, or am I obligated to sell to anyone with a buck?
