a) No licensee shall engage in any anti-competitive practices in the process of contracting for the right to receive or send any interstate simulcast signal or wagering on such signal. For the purpose of this Part, anti-competitive practices shall include, but not be limited to:

2) any agreement, combination, trust or joint enterprise with any other track or entity in which multiple interstate signals are bundled together for the purpose of securing an excessive or unreasonable fee for one or more signals in the group in exchange for the right to receive any of the signals in the group; or

3) any other activity designed to artificially inflate prices beyond reasonable market rates.

b) Licensees in violation of this Part shall be subject to civil penalties up to $10,000 per occurrence and/or license suspension or revocation.
