You’re missing the point. If a monopoly is created because of government regulation and no competition can thrive because of government policy. There is no monopoly abuse. It’s just how it is because the government screwed up.

They had franchise agreements with cities and exclusive rights for space on telephone poles. They were still found to be an abusive monopoly even though their monopoly was created by government regulation.
