I don't understand why you want to preserve these monopolies. They're already non-competitive. How on earth does granting private monopolies do anything other than give away free money to unaccountable executives? It's already clear, based on this suggestion, that the private "market" has failed so the government needs to step in. Just take these guys over and run them publicly.
