FTC files “the big one,” a lawsuit alleging Amazon illegally maintains monopoly

banks

Not a monopoly though?

cable companies

Agreed on this one! In theory, there are lots of cable companies.

In practice, you actually only have one cable provider that provides service in your area.

health care

Also not a monopoly in my area.

Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to defend any of the abusive practices of any of these industries. It's just that they're not monopolies.
