"Fixing the price," as John Sargent used it is not the same thing as "Price-fixing." He was using it as synonymous with "setting the price." Moving to the agency model is a completely separate issue from any accusations of price-fixing in the industry.
As far as I know, Fictionwise has normally operated primarily on the agency model anyway. That's why they have relied on micropay rewards rather than straight discounts for secure books.
