Installing and updating GTA V is proving to be a very bumpy process. Will I be playing this damned game on PC again!
 
So, whilst reading through the Showmax thread, and constructing one of my patented long-ass responses about how people are wrong and Multichoice isn't that bad, I realized something. I have systematically lost any mental and opinion ties to other ideologies, and I am sitting firmly and stubbornly in the pro-Capitalistic camp, like super pro-Capitalistic. To the point that my opinion may be anti-consumer. So my comments is no more.

I've got a feeling that I know where your thoughts were headed.. Something like, a monopoly isn't really a monopoly if there is competition, but they're just shit? And that there's a difference between being anti-competitive and positioning yourself well in the market?

To a degree yes, that was one of the places my mind went to, before it disappeared up my own arse.

Haha I was just wondering, since I often think the same when we see irrational hate of some of the larger companies. Telkom, f'r instance, used to be a monopoly, because it was the only telecom; now there are others, but they don't have the experience or capital to back them like Telkom, so Telkom still gets called a monopoly.

On the other hand, Telkom holding onto the last mile of copper smells like anti-competitive behaviour. There, I feel, some hate is justified.

But Telkom spent the capital getting the copper to all the homes.
