Anti-Capitalist Sentiment (with some morality)

I remember well paying highway robbery prices for internet back in the late 90s here, while similar and faster connections were available in the US for cheaper. Now I pay $45/mo for gigabit fibre and about $22/mo for 200Mbit cellular, both unthrottled and unlimited. My understanding is both of those cost several times more in the US now, with very limited availability. Something's changed quite a bit.

I'm no economist, but it would make sense to a layman's ears that antitrust regulations could enable competition.
