Removing the internal market isn't going to fix the open market, its only going to penalize corporations using the internal market as it was intended.
Where exactly do you read the removal of the internal market here?
When PIE finished a run of Termis MK II's we put them up on the internal market at cost. Any member wanting to purchse one for personal use, or to resell, could do so.
I am sure most corporations will not permit reselling subsidized items, for obvious enough reasons.
There's absolutely no chance that we would have put those bots up on the public market at cost.
You do not have to, nor is it wise! And do you realize that build materials and/or ores you acquire will get cheaper if there is competition on an open market to get them from? Would you not rather lower the build cost to begin with instead of selling at zero profit?
In other words, removing internal markets isn't going to have the effect of moving items to the open market, its just going to make players get more creative in how they bypass it, while penalizing corps actually using it for internal use.
Again this is not what I wrote!
More population will fix the market, nothing else.[
More population won't fix anything if they do not participate in the market and all hide in their own corp. You would need a very serious population boom in every corp for things to work smoother and with good timezone coverage. This optimum is much easier to reach with interactions on one market then on one market for every moderately sized corporation.
