When the government allocates monopoly rights to frequency, and there are only a handful in each community, it's picking the winners in the competition.

When the government picked companies and gave them monopoly rights to frequencies in San Francisco and Los Angeles and New York and Chicago, it was picking the winners of the competition; it wasn't setting the terms of the competition.
I think it's wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.
Before the monopoly should be permitted, there must be reason to believe it will do some good - for society, and not just for monopoly holders.
A monopoly is like running on firm ground. Nothing compels you to move, but if you do, you move forward. The faster you run, the more scenery you see - so you have some incentive to run fast.
They will come to learn in the end, at their own expense, that it is better to endure competition for rich customers than to be invested with monopoly over impoverished customers.
In an effort to eliminate the possibility of any rival growing up, some monopolists would sacrifice democracy itself.
Monopolists who fear competition and who distrust democracy because it stands for equal opportunity would like to secure their position against small and energetic enterprise.
Competition is always a good thing. It forces us to do our best. A monopoly renders people complacent and satisfied with mediocrity.
I don't know what a monopoly is until somebody tells me.
We don't have a monopoly. We have market share. There's a difference.
