Yes... This is where the "market makes it best" philosophy fails. When
the
market has become entrenched in one way of doing things, a better way
can face serious opposition because of this very fact.

The problem is that we don't *have* a market in many places.  We have a
monopoly provider and the people have no alternative in too many places,
what we need in those places is a market.  One provider does not a
"market" make.  It is a "company store" at that point.
