I would say yes and agree with you but not if you have the money and lobbying influence to say its not.
That collusion would be no different than what is occurring today among the ISP. They have non written agreements to not compete with each other in certain areas , hence the lack of competition. This is how they can stay in business despite being rated the most hated companies in the US year after year by their own customers. Only way that can happen is if you are the only game in town (monolopy)
This is only branching out their arrangement to now include the existing Online Oligarch as well.
I would say transparency and a formal written statement between business, versus an agreement that is so unethical or illegal that nobody wants to put their name on it or officially declare it to the public.
A business agreement to mutually not enter one another's competitive domains is a conspiracy against the consumer. Similar examples include price fixing, anti-employee "poaching" agreements.
Permissable business agreements include joint ventures, plans to supply one another when creating or entering a new marketplace, etc.
