I am not debunking regulations nor am I promoting them. Some regulations do give players in a market an undue advantage. All the more reason to get rid of them IMO. As far as the cable thing goes, where I live the cable companies were given monopolies in certain locations, but several companies vied for the monopoly rights from local governments by presenting competing contract to the city council. The local government chose what they felt was the best deal (the council probably all got t-shirts or trips to Hawaii from the winning bidder) and awarded the contract. This may not have been the case in your area, if so I apologize.
