Effective regulation IS what prevents monopolies.
"Assigned" monopolies have come to be because business interests now
fund politicians' elections so they get their way. Bigger and fewer
companies makes business more money ... at least in the short term.

I have cable. My choice is that, or dial-up or satellite download
dial-up upload. I am too far out in the country for DSL to happen any
time soon.
What we need is more competition (no more assigned monopolies), not
more regulation.
I don't think I have a right to a fast net connection. I am willing
to pay for one, but currently no one has an incentive to sell me one.

Anyone who has cable today ought to be searching for and lobbying for
getting something in the future that offers a fixed rate.
