Reminds me of how in Canada we really only have 3 telecom companies. Rogers, Telus, Bell.

Theyre pretty much the only real providers of phones, internet and cable tv. There's some regional options depending where you are but the big three have most of the infrastructure.

The government is constantly trying to add new regulation to reign them in but the big three just collude to find loopholes or ways around it.
