it's literally not
apart from raise prices
limit consumer choice
cause high barriers to entry
reduce economic growth and employment
again
you are correct
if you assume **ceteris paribus**
Let me give you an example
ISPs are monopolised you agree?
in USA?
yes
do you understand why?
because of regulation
Regulations such as net neutrality and zoning laws
correct
healthcare hospitals is monopolised
and prices are soaring
why?
Over regulation of the market
it's mostly the special status that some local governments give these ISPs
Net neutrality limited competition
this video explains it
it was made by a network engineer
Don't know what ben said
he basically said more regulation = bad
Net neutrality isn't the sole cause of the ISP monopolisation
yes
it was the zoning laws
yes zoning laws are probably the biggest reason
this is wrong already
then again im not american
The act of 1996 specifically stats that broadband internet service providers were not classified as telecommunications carriers
therefore not subject to the regulations
It didn't even exist until 2003
the name itself
in any case
you're right some regulations may possibly be good
