Natural monopolies[edit]

I'm looking for sources about natural monopolies in relation to the recent Net Neutrality debate. Benjamin (talk) 09:47, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Natural monopoly has plenty of sources about the economic concept in general. An online search turns up stuff like this but I am not sure that is what you are searching for. Tigraan^{Click here to contact me} 11:01, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

How does Gmail only have a Alexa rank of 11,361[edit]

When Gmail has one billion active users worldwide how can it have such a low Alexa rank Flow 234 (Nina) talk 23:56, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I assume most of the activity is on google.com and not gmail.com. PrimeHunter (talk) 00:05, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It's also possible their traffic is heavily diluted by people using apps instead to access their mail and Gmail users sometimes having multiple accounts (including business and work accounts) to account for the billion active users. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 10:09, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, according to Techcrunch there's been 1 billion downloads of the Gmail app and additionally 75% of people read their Gmail email on their mobile. A large portion of that is likely to be through app. Source. Thanks ツ Jenova 20 ^(email) 10:15, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
