And not take overly egregious actions that would force a government intervention which would probably lead to actions that damage my monopoly and harm profitability.

Or just bribe people in the government and have them appoint one of your lawyers to the governing body meant to regulate you.
Why care how egregious your actions are when the government listens to you and your bags of money, and not the people you're fucking over?

This is pretty much circular at this point. I’d say the risk/reward (no matter how much money can divert risk) is not great enough or we’d have already seen this happen pre-Open Internet
Common sense says that, as a corporation, if I have a regional monopoly on internet access I should exploit that to the point that maximizes profitability.
