Cable companies are the same - monopolies.

there is no monopoly with gas companies. This whole collusion and "windfall profits" crap is just politicians trying to convince people they are doing something about rising gas prices. Even Exxon, the largest company in the world only controls about 10% of the market. You need about 80% to be considered a monopoly.
Cable companies used to have monopolies for their local areas. but now there is competition in most markets against cable companies.
