    So you’re saying it stopped being a monopoly when competition was created, and you somehow construe that as “monopoly equals competition” ??

      Yes

      construe that as “monopoly equals competition”

      No

      My original comment was saying that getting rid of a monopoly doesn’t necessarily increase competition. That’s still what I’m saying. Decreasing the number of competitors never increases competition.
