Supermarkets and furniture stores are pretty competitive …

I have an example from Germany, though, for you: stores selling newspapers and magazines basically have no choice on what exactly to sell. The goal of this regulation is that no matter where you are, basically all publications are available everywhere easily.

In that sense stores are sort of forced to act sort of like ISPs for print publications. They just have to offer everything.
