Re: could someone explain this situation here?

All three of the companies DO NOT have overlapping territory. Each cable company is a local monopoly.

In some cases, the cable cos got a large monopoly because they bought up the smaller providers that no longer exist. Like Rogers bought almost a handful of cable cos in Ontario. I can't remember the other ones but I think Cogeco also bought some.

End result, few own a large portion of conduits and cables in many neighborhoods, the infrastructure has been there for so long and so much market share bought up that setting up shop in an area like that would be financially and bureaucratically impossible.
