While I can perceive logic in your argument, the fact is that the corporation that holds an exclusive agreement within a jurisdiction to provide a certain service will fight tooth and nail to retain that exclusive arrangement. Once they become "King of the Mountain," most companies will make every attempt to prevent any challenge to their exclusive arrangement. Corporations in such a position have no interest in "free market" principles. The "free market" is for wannabes.
