minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·vor 3 JahrenPretty 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·vor 3 JahrenMy point being that while a duopoly may seem like a worst case scenario, it very much isn’t.
minus-squareDeceptichum@kbin.sociallinkfedilinkarrow-up2·vor 3 JahrenMy 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.
