Guess this you could claim "government intervention" for most anything, but I suggest you read up on Carnagie Steel, Standard Oil, and a few others at the turn of the century. And, if you want to claim that these were local, go out and buy a diamond. While there are a few exceptions, DuBeers controlled the world's diamond market totally until the past decade and still could easily destroy the worlds diamond market in a day. Yes, monopolies have and continue to exist. (A monopoly on IPv4 address space is very improbable and would certainly be short-lived, though!) R.
