Ah yes, cause monopolies have never been bad for the customer (looks at supermarkets).
Well they’re a long, long way off from the market share of the big ISPs. But if you mean specifically in the segment of ‘non-shitty ISPs’, then yeah, I guess there’s some concern there. If all the non-shitty ISPs merge, then there’s no longer anyone there to ‘keep them honest’ and to stop them drifting towards the shittiness of the big ISPs.
That is my worry. I can understand ABB wanting the customer base to increase cash flow and their subsequent investment in the products the provide, but at the cost of customer choice between competing companies has me looking at them side ways.
Hopefully in the long run, this is a net positive.
