    I expect no hesitation from both companies to double their price and tell their customers to deal with it.

      This will happen. The market in the us will become a monopoly of sorts in which a single company has the only available product of a kind and will sell it at unreasonable prices because it’s either theirs or no product at all.

      I wouldn’t go as far as a 100% increase in price, but they will definitely pass on the cost.

      I am just curious about their PR tactics as they are based in the US. Will they simply not say anything (while not replying to journalists’ emails on this topic) and raise prices? Or will they try and come up with some PR copytext?
