If ATHM would provide ISP's services and also network infrastructure to the other ISP's then you have a conflict of interest. In perception perhaps. Similar arrangements are common. It isn't necessarily a conflict of interest unless ATHM ISP is getting special services from the ATHM infrastructure. The way conflicts like this get resolved is regulation and price controls. Not what you were aiming for I bet. Can you point to examples of this. Did IBM have regulation imposed, does Microsoft. Yes they have both run into trouble with the FTC but regulation and price controls were never/have yet to be imposed.
