> Yes, but it puts American consumers at an advantage! Are there more consumers or businesses? Interesting perspective. I can see a parallel with healthcare insurance: - one big non-profit subsidized provider -> cheap baseline service for the masses, third party providers cover for the niches of the market, third party providers forced to innovate - lack of subsidies/regulation -> expensive baseline service for the masses, essentially the subsidy that gave you cheap service now becomes profit for the third party providers, no need to innovate when you can comfortably get rich by inflating the baseline service prices
