Unless it's in a monopoly position in the market, I don't believe there would be any law preventing it from doing so. I works for a large multinational IT company that makes laptops in one of its divisions. The IT consultancy division of the company, in which I work, gets the laptops at much cheaper prices than they are sold externally for.

By comparison, the phone company in the UK is called British Telecom, and is (effectively) a monopoly. It is required to sell network capacity to its own ISP on the same commercial terms that it sells capacity to other ISPs.
