Minimum fees are often set because a well funded (large) player can operate a route at a loss, drive less well funded players bankrupt and then put the prices way up after they're the only provider left. It's called predatory pricing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predatory_pricing I can't tell you whether the CAB or the ICC actually improved things or not and whether regulatory capture is possible/likely for Big Tech. I'm just saying minimum prices exist for a reason and don't necessarily hurt consumers in the long term.
