Here is an article that asserts that the ascription of "natural monopoly" to many industries is due to the successful efforts by dominant players in those industries to persuade people (primarily politicians) to grant them legal monopolies, and that their arguments are not to be trusted and often demonstrably wrong. It specifically addresses the industries of electric power, cable TV, and telephones. https://mises.org/library/myth-natural-monopoly https://mises.org/library/myth-natural-monopoly
