Does your state have a public utilities commission to report
the monopoly market to?  Also FCC.

They can't do that, the doctrine is "multi-mode competition", which
_was_ the test for healthy markets -- and unless things have changed,
that's what exists today.

I'm not a fan of "multi-mode competition."  It was stupid, and
responsible for the kinds of duopoly and monopoly markets
that exist, but that's what the FCC adopted -- so a market's
competition is "healthy" if you have (say) a satellite
ISP, an incumbent telco, and incumbent cable company, and maybe even
power line Internet, which was considered.

Sorry for the brain dump, thank you for your patience with anything
ungrammatical.
