While there are natural barriers to entry in ISP, the causative factors for why there isn't sufficient competition such that deters one firm's market power (ability to set price) are artificial barriers (largely restrictions by municipal governments). It's tough to say exactly how much natural barrier to entry there is in ISP, but we do know that competition is arising where the artificial barriers are low enough. Apparently there are a lot of small ISPs that are jumping in and taking business from the big incumbents.
ISP is definitely not one of the markets I'm worried about even with its super high artificial restrictions. There are a wide variety of ways for firms to make money in the market and there are many other markets that provide substitutes.
