Most likely? Do they actually own enough to prevent a competitor?


Who are all the big players right now? How did any of these guys get access in the first place? Where did all of the small internet providers/cell service providers that right now are in the bottom 1% behind all these giants come from? How did they get market entry?

Are they all subs of Comcast/Verizon/Netflix/Amazon?

I ask because i don't know the infrastructure answer. How did all the players get to the point where they are players ?
