It's exclusivity deals that are the problem. Governments should legislate them away so that there can be competition.

Then we'd all choose the marketplace of our preference. Like supermarkets.

Video streaming, music streaming, games consoles, even mobile OSs all could benefit from some anti-monopoly legislation.
