The telephone and its descendent, the internet, are still that natural monopoly.
Regulation, not competition, is the solution to the natural monopolies.
Business managers and owners are passionate in their hatred of regulation.

Senate Republicans have shown little interest in drafting a
reasonable authorization for war against ISIS, but the job is squarely
within their constitutional mandate.
United States Defense and Military Forces; Editorials; United States
International Relations; United States Politics and Government; War
Powers Act (1973)
The Republicans do not want to see the unconditional end of the Global War on Terror.
They hope to be in charge and cannot stand the idea of what will be read as an ideological defeat on their watch.
The Republicans are living in a fantasy.
