Let's say if these companies are monopolies. Should they still hold the same power?



Isn’t the general solution there to bust the monopoly?

The main exception is utilities which generally operate as natural monopolies.

ISPs are relatively new to being treated as utilities and many ordinary regulations that should be in-place are missing.
