Although people find such behavior as charging Google and Microsoft higher rates for the same service to be unpleasant, they must be allowed to proceed unimpeded. Prices are a natural way of allocating resources between all players in the free market and should not be restricted by government.

 

I would like to point out:

Costs, rather than prices, are a natural way of allocating resources between all player in the equitable market and will not be restrictedly by any other means besides costs; be those costs natural or man made.

Man made costs are costs imposed by man, unnaturally, or, without just cause. One might raise the price above costs simply because one can. If so, then, another might not, and then; which one provides more for less?
