Utilities: - Comcast - Verizon - Time warner cable - Power and water companies Tech giants: - Google - Facebook - Microsoft Do you want your tech companies to be more like your utilities, or your utilities to be more like your tech companies? Personally, i'd very much prefer the latter. Tech companies have monopolies granted by superior user experiences. They are deeply afraid of losing that superiority. Utility companies have government granted monopolies - they fear only changing regulation. Companies align with their incentives. If they do not, they will be replaced by those that do. I'm much more comfortable with a company who's monopoly rests on the back of my happiness, personally.
