My thoughts are that the proper solution would be to outlaw regional monopolies, and that a store is entitled to whatever pricing model it sees fit.


That would be ideal. Then competion would sort it out.

But the FCC doesn't have that authority and it's a nonstarter in congress. So the stop gap is to force the government granted monopolies to play nice as a condition of their monopoly status.


The problem with that is that the current internet architecture inherently favors monopolies.
