And yes, a broadband (often) would be an example of a monopoly provider. My point was that, "gosh, we want a better alternative" is not necessarily a reasonable desire or evidence of monopoly power.

"Gosh, we want a better alternative, but alternatives keep on getting squashed," is a pretty strong indicator. Doesn't every monopoly claim that the situation is due to market forces and that they're not a monopoly?
