By the time the system has consolidated enough that there is little effective competition, those companies have also become so large that they can lobby for regulatory capture. It's not zero regulation, but rather a form of regulation that solidifies their position while still providing the same shitty service they always have.
Regulation won't work. The system is too far gone.
have you tried not voting for thieves porn stars and real estate developers? Maybe get someone in who could possibly know what they're talking about
