Pricing power != extortion.

She doesn't own the road. She's trespassing.

Not sure why you brought privacy into it then.
quote:NO! That question is the ROOT of the issue! No wonder you're on the wrong side of this, you haven't even begun to comprehend the topic.
Because it's a distraction from the issue.
quote:House brands are not even remotely comparable to this.
This happens all the time. Why do you think "store brands" exist?
So I'll ask the question again, since again you haven't answered. How should Walmart respond to an extortion attempt by Amazon the ISP?

quote:Your ISP isn't a third party. They are an integral part of the delivery of the goods.

quote:Entirely are. You often see house brands right next to other brands that paid for their shelf space.
House brands are not even remotely comparable to this.
quote:I have no answer to a loaded question, because I don't buy the premise. I don't equate competitive advantage to extortion.
So I'll ask the question again, since again you haven't answered. How should Walmart respond to an extortion attempt by Amazon the ISP?

Standard response when you don't accept someone's flawed premise.
