minus-squarePrimarily0617@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 年前just wait for the reaming you’ll get when everybody but amazon goes out of business in your country
minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 年前It’ll be exactly the same as it was before than, the maximum people could pay before it affected sales.
minus-squarePrimarily0617@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 年前Yes I’m sure the prices will be the same after there’s absolutely no competition at all.
minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up3·3 年前There was no competition before, which is why it would be “the same as it was before”.
minus-squarePrimarily0617@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·edit-23 年前 beats out the brick and mortar store**s** ???
minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 年前Pretty much everything was a duopoly and as the market was so small they just grew to mutually exist without need to compete. Shit most of them are all owned by the same parent companies now.
minus-squarePrimarily0617@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 年前My point being that while a duopoly may seem like a worst case scenario, it very much isn’t.
minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 年前My point is that is isn’t any better or worse when there isn’t competition. You’re still a captive market being charged the highest costs possible.

minus-squareHello_there@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-23 年前So private telecoms frantically lowering their prices when a public-funded internet company launches is just a coincidence?
