Uhhmmm ... no. It's not illegal to BE a monopoly; it is illegal to abuse
your monopolistic power to stifle competition. There are examples of
monopolies - PECO is still a monopoly in this area, in terms of
providing electricity, even tho there are other firms doing it, PECO has
the overwhelming market share, still.
