The fundamental problem here is those monopolies having unfettered access to regulatory law making processes. Right now it's as if these companies are free to regulate themselves and everyone is unhappy because they misuse those powers to enrich themselves at the cost of everyone else. The minimum requirement is to break them up for such overreach.
