Lots of people are saying it's the same as doing it manually with public data. I don't think that's the issue. The article is explaining that the focus is the shared pricing database. Public information doesn't tell you if competitors will underprice to sink you, or if they are likely to hold a high price even against lower occupancy. This software tells you and your competitors whether or not to do that, and bases that guidance on its inside knowledge of its own customer base. That is what the FTC and DoJ are calling collusion, based on my reading of the article.
