Without common carrier rules, what’s to prevent a local ISP monopoly like Comcast from denying small business, game developers, and publishers access to their residential customers, and blackmailing them for arbitrarily large amounts of money?

Is there any incentive for a grocery store to remove the most popular yogurt brand after bringing in their on private label yogurt? Should the yogurt cost the same? There are free markets even within a monoply. It cuts waste, creates better products, and better prices.

Most Americans have access to many stores but only 1 or 2 broadband providers. Thus monopoly, oligopoly, and implicit collusion issues are at the forefront. Witness smartphones: 2 platforms, both demanding 30% of software revenue.

Comcast is a monopoly. I'm saying that prices will adjust within that monopoly. The aforementioned yogurt top brand will reduce their cost while the price in the store might rise. People still buy it and grocery store profits same and gives it EQUAL product placement on shelf.

It’s a sweet deal for the monopoly, while consumers and suppliers get crushed.
