Microsoft, Adobe, wilt during Australian price gouge grilling

FAIL

the govt can lead by example

the government can use ubuntu, rhel, libreoffice, latex, postgres/mariadb, and so on.

firms that interact with the govt will at least partially convert...and the effect will spread...

then ms/adobe will no longer have a 'monopoly'.

the government must realise its part of the cause -> network effects that give the likes of ms and adobe near monopoly price setting power.
