02:56 <joelteon> whitequark: are cable companies in an oligopoly in moscow

02:56 <whitequark> cable companies?

02:56 <joelteon> uhh

02:56 <joelteon> internet providers

02:56 <joelteon> my mistake

02:56 <whitequark> wired? not at all

02:57 <joelteon> why not

02:57 <whitequark> it's cutthroat

02:57 <whitequark> idk maybe like

02:57 <whitequark> it's an actual free market

02:57 <joelteon> would it be possible to form an oligopoly there?

02:58 <whitequark> that's a strange question

02:58 <joelteon> i'm just wondering if it's a USA-specific phenomenon

02:58 <joelteon> and I thought "geographical isolation" but russia is bigger than the US

02:58 <whitequark> hm, well

02:59 <whitequark> in distant regions of russia, which is basically everything except moscow and spb (not quite but close) it's an oligopoly

02:59 <joelteon> figured

02:59 <whitequark> not because there's a conspiracy, but because no one wants to provide internet there very much

03:00 <joelteon> heh

03:00 <whitequark> really depends on a region though, it's case by case. but dialup or reeeeallly crappy (usa crappy) dsl is not unheard of

03:00 <joelteon> man this country is fucked up
