In this case it appears that it was a small monopoly. Where I live one can generally change a telco without changing your physical exact location. Lots of clumsy wires though under the ceiling near the elevator.
But that was off topic, I'll add one small point - a bigger company could do what you described too.
Sure, and I haven't used a telco in ~20 years unless you count cell carriers. But yeah I'm by no means saying bigger companies are necessarily better about this, as I said, just that this is a curious counter-example to your earlier claim that breaking up the telco monopoly didn't lead to nobody building telecom infrastructure.
