Will this industry ever become monopolized?
There seems to be a lot of consolidation in the past few years but there still isn't any real control of a few companies over the entire industry. There is still a lot of room for start ups and even newbies to get in (yes with difficulty).
The only real monopolies seem to be 3rd party billing companies. Many of the largest adult sites use 3rd party billing companies and their are only a handful of them. That seems to be where the parallels between online and offline business diverges. It would be like McDonald's using a 3rd party service to handle their billing.
I wonder if some companies will come to rule the market like an online Adult WalMart. I wonder if their will ever be new 3rd party billing companies.
