[QUOTE="beentheredonethat, post: 805700, member: 4886"] Look at how Dish Network tried to buy DirectTV a few years ago. In most areas they have competition from cable. But they weren't allowed due to antitrust issues with becoming too dominent in one segment. That's for something that is a nice to have not a necessity. There's no way UPS would be allowed to buy RPS back then on antitrust concerns. However, if we were smarter we could have changed our pricing structure and to charge less but still be profitable on the business pkgs and keep thier marketshare very low so they couldn't compete. The government can't stop you from lowering prices so long as you show that you are profitable and aren't losing money in this segment to drive out competition. [/QUOTE]
