Telecommunications companies: use public air waves, depend on cable run all over the country that a startup can't duplicate, etc
Large media companies: public air waves again.
Natural resource exploiters: oil companies, logging companies, etc depend on extracting resources from a lot of public lands.
Anything related to defense.
And the final point, no matter how hard we wish there were a level playing field in the markets, big companies will always lobby for laws that favor them over smaller companies. Even if we have a minimal government we will still have things like contract law, patents, trademarks, etc. Large corporations will influence these laws.
