In the end, when you have a monopoly or duopoly, then you get one thing. Occasional fighting when one decides to lower their prices to match, then once they have enough customers; a price hike.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21486240 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:42:25 EDT Re: It's fun to be a Duopoly.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21486164 travisc : How many satellite companies do you need to have before there's enough competition? Bell TV and Star Choice could barely make money when their rates were reasonable, it's only after jacking them up steadily that they've become profitable. You think more competition in this sector is sustainable?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21486164 Wed, 26 Nov 2008 01:05:49 EDT Re: It's fun to be a Duopoly.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21485822 Mashiki : Wait what? Videotron is cable, and Look isn't available everywhere. That leaves Starchoice and Bell, so yes it is a duopoly in the satellite market, and unlike us 'city folk' who can turn around and get cable or satellite(and maybe look), you're screwed.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21485822 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:25:53 EDT Re: It's fun to be a Duopoly.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21485606 Guspaz : Duopoly? There's StarChoice, Videotron, and Look. That's four choices in Montreal (Bell's second biggest market). There isn't a lack of competition in television services.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21485606 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 22:40:37 EDT Re: It's fun to be a Duopoly.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21484440 mlerner : The Canadian market is especially interesting in that respect. Bell has tried to undercut other competitors and when that backfires they align their prices with competitors yet again. Unfortunately this is what happens when the Government has little regulation and at the same time not allowing foreign ownership.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21484440 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:24:05 EDT It's fun to be a Duopoly.... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21484319 KrK : ... Because you can stick it to the customers and they can't do much about it.

Especially if they can't get Cable...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21484319 Tue, 25 Nov 2008 17:56:01 EDT
