No. It isn't. It's free choice market capitalism. Which most CEO's are wildly in favour of until they start to find out that they're becoming the food in the food chain. At which point they start to complain loudly and demand special protective measures. c.f. the concurrent thread on banning municipal broadband to the benefit of cable companies.
Live by the market capitalism sword, die by the market capitalism sword.
Although it is quite amusing to see how many of the "hard headed businessman" types seem to be coming out against the unrestricted operation of the "market". I suppose after the shenanigans of the last few years I shouldn't really be surprised, they're all free market warriors until it's their rice bowl that's being broken.
