I'm sorry mate. What point?
The Whopper is available from BK only - other burgers are available.
JD is available from Diageo only - Other bourbons are available.
The Astra is available from Vauxhall only - There are loads of other crap cars available.*
There is no monopoly. broadcast platforms are offered by VM, BT, TT, Freesat & Freeview in the UK. Programme production is carried out by the BBC, ITV, C4, C5 and countless independents in the UK and importation of programmes is too.
So no free market is being prevented. We're all absolutely free to join any provider we want.
*OK. Opel too, if anyone wants to split hairs.
