- Comment "Incumbent telecoms companies are in a very strong position. Even though their legal monopolies have been removed in almost all countries, they still continue to have considerable monopoly power because the infrastructure they have built over the years results in high barriers to entry. Without regulation there would also be very strong network effects.Note ref.: Moneyterms > Incumbent telco. http://moneyterms.co.uk/incumbent-telco/ [4.8.2011]"
