Having a monopoly in one city still counts as a monopoly for the purposes of that city’s residents. I had a fun argument with CU several years ago when they told me basically “yes, you turned off all the power breakers in the house, the water, the AC, and all fans and ventilation, but we’re still charging you $180 for that address FOR THE ABILITY to use our services. $180 a month just to BE ABLE TO use utilities. They get away robbery because they can.
