A couple days ago I posted a link to PTG's Anti-Trust Guidelines. I copy
below a few sentences from said document, which clarifies your (hopefully
rhetorical) question.

*Agreements to Divide Customers*. An agreement among members of an
association to divide customers is, in and of itself, a criminal act. The
antitrust laws expressly prohibit any understanding or agreement between
competitors or members of an association involving division or allocation of
customers. Even an informal agreement whereby one member agrees to stay out
of another’s territory will constitute a violation of the antitrust laws.
