I think that you aren't understanding that a monopoly is bad if it's held by ANY company:

Actually AT&T's monopoly worked very well.  When it was forced to split during divestiture, it F'd up the whole telecom industry and made it worse for customers in price and service.

 

I hope you are kidding. The increased competition caused the prices of phone calls (especially long-distance calls) to drop precipitously.
