Yeah, it's frustrating when monopolies are allowed to continue being monopolies.  Where I am, it seems there's a monopoly on cable services - There's really only one big company I can think of that offers cable services here, and it's been like that for quite a while.  In the late 80s through the 90s, I remember there being maybe 3 cable companies that offered cable TV services.  When broadband internet started being offered (early 2000s), that was when most of the cable companies dropped off and it got down to just one cable company.

Where I am, thankfully there are other options if you're mainly just concerned with internet service.  But I know there are areas where that's not really the case.
