this is the problem. your argument assumes they will all act in accordance with each other and will just stop competing
quote:If it's legal, the dominant ISP would reject any price for ad space for a competitor. They could also replace any ad for a competing service with an ad for their own, completely transparent to the user. The startup could pay Google tons of money to show ads, and Cox or whoever could just nullify that and show their own shite. Who's going to stop them with no government oversight? Would the startup have to pursue costly legal action? Would the public catch on and voice their opinions or speak with their wallets?
are we to assume if the startup can pay more for the ad space, they'll still get rejected? because if not, that's how ALL ads work

scary words!

you're not going to find many persons willing to engage in a discussion on this topic with you who will treat you with respect after you refuse to leave the emotional trickery at the door. just letting you know

i don't think that model would work out too well in the end

this would be companies choosing to generate less revenue

other than the insanity of such a proposal, i don't even see why this would be a big deal it would just shift the internet from company-centric ad model to another revenue-generation model

more like your subjective, preferred conclusion for this individual argument. if you're going to continue to insert your opinions as facts, there is no point to discuss this with you. i cannot debate your preferences
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not his own facts
