why haven't they done so in other locations?

Do you really believe there could be an overt lock out of a geographic area as stated?

I suppose there is a stretch possibility, but that would be against the law and while big business sometimes does some "questionable" deeds, I doubt they would openly run such a risk......what are they protecting? Adding another billion? I seriously doubt it. They are much smarter about such things than that......most of them most of the time anyway!
