Your point wasn’t a competitive advantage, if it was you would of already read that I conceded that point to you because I never disagreed to you.
You said the phone company extorted money based not on a competitive advantage but an absolute monopoly. Which based on your reaction you now realized I ripped to shreds.
Indeed that was my point. The monopoly on phone service, which was absolutely tied to phone directory distribution, provided what was an effective monopoly on business directory advertising. When a company is handed an enormous competitive advantage, the effect is the same as an exclusionary monopoly.

So that is the face saving line you've chosen to fall back on? Weak, but whatever.
