ISPs are a natural monopoly, but I don't believe they're actively working on price fixing like the Robber Barrons of the late 1800s / early 1900s.

The physical plant is a natural monopoly as you don't want everyone to put their own poles and/or wires in.

Nothing special about ISPs.

See Phone Service and Electricity.
