As zug mentioned in a reply they just ignore building stuff and sue a city if they try to build their own network (then there's the states where they bought laws to make it flat out illegal for cities to make their own network). All of this shit is artificially induced to maintain a monopoly and just ride out on any infrastructure already made while charging more for it long after it's been paid for (mind you, tax payers foot the bill in the first place in a lot of cases). The industry is mostly rent-seekers.
