Topic	Biden's FCC Reinstates Net Neutrality by 3-2 Vote
Deegs 04/30/24 12:42:51 PM #32:	DnDer posted... Did anyone break the bad news to you since you posted? Let me scroll back up and check... EDIT: No one really did. So I'll tell you that no only did they agree to price fix, but they agreed to carve up territories to create local monopolies that weren't functionally different in price anyway, but protected their markets from having to lower their prices through direct competition with each other. I don't think you have this quite correct. Municipalities definitely have entered into exclusivity deals with ISP that much is true but price fixing is an illegal practice. If multiple ISPs in a region conspire to fix prices this would result in a lawsuit. Open to reading more on this but there has no such price fixing scheme brought to light legally speaking that I'm aware of. --- The only people that can say what matters to gaming are those that buy and play them.-Ollie Barder, Forbes Contributor <cite>Deegs posted [p:980170799] in Biden's FC...
