The price is not set by the government in either country.

You sure about that? The governments don't set targets or quotas for ISPs, or subsidise their infrastructure, or grant (or control) local monopolies?

"Setting the price" doesn't have to mean explicitly specifying what it must be. But governments generally have a huge influence over the economics of ISP operations.
