That's what the Bell System thought on Long Distance calling back in the
70's and 80's regarding their industry.


Bell was wrong, you can have more than one provider of long distance
service.

That's what they found out the hard way. MCI was going on five eyars before
AT&T began to even take notice.

If more than one company attempts to provide separation nobody has
separation.

Wrong analogy.
