> first fiber rollout was being done by a company that actually needed to show profitability on its investment I don't follow your point. Do you think Google has done the investment not expecting to make a profit? This example shows the point that it is virtually impossible to maintain a monopoly in a free market. So if one company had a monopoly on internet access, and then Google successfully enters that market, it's not a monopoly. Short run market dominance and monopolies seem to be often conflated, but they aren't the same thing.
