> I don't agree with this. Companies like Comcast are deemed monopolies because their customers don't have a choice. Just as you stated, Comcast gives me high speed broadband. But my choice is limited to Comcast, and the only competitor (if there even is one in my neighborhood) will offer 2MB DSL.

> This is NOT the case with online shopping.

Does this mean that Google doesn't have monopolies, with its 90% market share in search, 70% market share in video sharing (Youtube), and 60% market share in web browsing (Chrome), just because there are alternatives available?
