The problem at hand is not one of monopoly, but of awareness of what is actual infrastructure and what is not. More and more systems enter the gray area towards becoming full blown infrastructure, but at the same time nothing is done to increase their reliability accordingly. Worse, the ever increasing complexity also hides an increasing number of weak spots in the systems. This incident shows exactly that, but just look at the comments ... it is NOT the wake-up call it needs to be, the discussions are going sideways in all sorts of directions, even among those who should see the things for what they are.
