Tell that to Google fiber who got stonewalled on multiple cities even after they offered to pay for everything, front to back. It’s regulation causing the monopoly.

Google fiber had very specific requirements for their build-out. Not all locations were able or equipped to meet those demands.

Other than that, what specific regulation are you referring to?

More often than not it’s the economics that prevent overbuilding an existing monopoly rather than regulatory barriers.
