Pearl Jam tried to take them on a while back. The problem with monopolies is they’re incredibly powerful. They got that way by lobbying (read: bribing), and the more they succeed, they more they’re likely to succeed. Their power grows exponentially, basically. So by the time they get to be a monopoly, they’re basically super monopolies because they have the government in their pocket.
