    So you’re saying it stopped being a monopoly when competition was created, and you somehow construe that as “monopoly equals competition” ??

      it stopped being a monopoly when competition was created,

      Yes

      construe that as “monopoly equals competition”

      No

      My original comment was saying that getting rid of a monopoly doesn’t necessarily increase competition. That’s still what I’m saying. Decreasing the number of competitors never increases competition.
