This is much due to the fact that in some european countries the government gives monopoly status to some business areas if they are willing to work how the government want them to work. This usually has a negative impact on the winnings of the local company.

For example taxis are supposed to work and be reachable all around the country with the same prices, not just in high volume areas. If there is a new company that steps on the prices of the high volume areas, the older local company won't be able to offer the service in low volume areas.

People get angry if they don't have good services in their living areas.
