I already addressed the water delivery monopolies when I said this: > The water example you gave is an example of the government proactively monopolizing such utilities. Every water utility I know of is heavily regulated by local governments. Why? I don't know. I've never seen any evidence that such regulations were reactive in nature. But that fact of reality is not evidence that water delivery is an industry which will naturally monopolize to a point at which it is harmful to consumers.
