I think you understood what I said, but not what I was getting at.
1. Natural monopolies can't occur
2. Government interference creates monopolies
3. That these 'regulated' monopolies are still monopolies and still government interference. These still cause problems like higher prices (FDA), low supply (Enron), and stifled innovation (FDA)
4. Greenlight is more government interference, another monopoly

You know all that does is make me take you less seriously.
There's no need for attacks, my friend.

Nice straw man though, the issue is that TW has a monopoly, which is related to its success, and there is there are bars to entrance into the business which make it a monopoly.

I'm glad we agree. I'm not certain what straw man you're referring to.

Just because at the moment its government sponsored doesn't mean its ok.

Still agreeing, my issue is with replacing a monopoly with another monopoly. Wouldn't another monopoly inevitably cause similar, if not the same problems, as with Time Warner's supply?
I've conceded that last sentence in my first post, that probably confused people and is inconsistent. I probably need to work on focusing my posts, making them less jumpy.
