How many network connections do you actually have access to in your house. I
only have a TV cable and a wire for the phone. I could probably get a fiber
installed, but maybe not. And I could probably get a cellular wireless
connection to the internet from two different companies. Everything but the
wireless is a government-enforced monopoly.
Five mega companies aren't a whole lot of choice. Not like newspapers, which
I can get from anywhere in the country and probably the world.

Only if you were actually allowed to. Are you allowed to start a new company
that runs fiber into everyone's house?
