Just dotting the "i" 's and crossing the "t" 's.
If you guys all got together and set a price that you each would charge
the consumer, then I believe you may have issues. Price fixing. As long
as you guys really compete rather than slice up the pie, your probably
clear.

Two of my competitors just sat down for lunch and worked out a
network sharing agreement. It's a handshake deal at this point though.
Basically we carved up a hilltop laying out coverage zones for each
of us, and we set a price for using each other's ap's.

Hey I think thats a good thing you've done there Marlon, getting along
and even doing business with your competitors.
Yeah. It's something that the three of us have already been doing for a
couple of years. We sell on each other's ap's at the same price. The
only catch is that each of us has to live under the bw, and bit cap
rules of the other guys network vs. our own. But that seems perfectly
fair to me.
We also handle all tech support for the cusotmer. The customer should
NEVER contact the other isp. We have however, shown up together at
problematic customers and worked jointly to fix any issues.
But where do you think the line would be drawn in respect to anti
competitive practices?
I'm not sure. We've not had that come up yet.
Did you have a specific situation in mind?
