The word you are looking for is “oligopoly”. This is when a small set of firms has a monopoly on something.

That's a good word, but if I were to be honest, I think a better word might be "cartel" ....I looked up oligopoly and it seems like it implies no collusion..... However, when I think about the large telecoms, I feel like they are colluding with (each other, surely, but also) the government.
