To which corporate monopoly are you referring?

It doesn't seem to make much difference.
It's my simple observation that libertarians seem to defend all corporate monopolies.
I get the impression that libertarians prefer corporate "rights" over those of individuals.

I think the point is that consumers get a better deal in markets with a "corporate monopolist" than they do in markets that are dominated by regulated monopolies.

The big lie is that regulating, re-regulating and then de-regulating industries serves consumers. I'm not sure why anyone would believe this, but some people are so sold on the idea that they actually believe that regulating Microsoft will open some magical doors in the software industry....As if industries with a regulated monopoly are so much more accessible to entrepreneurs. Weird thinking, if you ask me...

An evasion.

Which corporation do you believe is a monopoly, and why?

I believe your assessment is prejudiced by your own misconceptions about the market.
