No problem. ISPs have as much of a right to voluntary association as you, me, or Mailchimp.

They actually don't. They are forbidden from acting with other ips in regards to aliging prices/services.

Plus they have common carrier status meaning they cannot offer/not offer service based on the content they carry for you. They must remain neutral.

You don't have to be. Neither does mailchimp.

I am certainly also subject to anti-collusion legislation.

I would agree normally, but what ISP is not taking public money to hopefully expand their network.
