Yep. That's what it comes down to. It's more efficient to have a single
infrastructure in things like 'phone networks and lease the infrastructure
out to companies who will sell it to end-users. No duplicate cable
rollout (cost *= 2), no duplicate base stations, etc. etc.

The total cost of rolling out 2 independent cable networks is obviously
higher than the cost of one, which means that the end user price is going
to be higher also.
