Yes, I think that should just about put an end to it...
Not anti-capitalist, anti-monopoly, big fan of Theodore Roosevelt..as for our discussion...

Like so many other instances of government regulation, AT&T quickly "captured" the regulators and used the regulatory apparatus to eliminate its competitors. "By 1925 not only had virtually every state established strict rate regulation guidelines, but local telephone competition was either discouraged or explicitly prohibited within many of those jurisdictions."[58]

So it's government regulations that allowd A&T to swallow competitor after competitor?
Government bureaucrats played AT&T in the marketplace, allowing it to dominate as a monopoly.
