Much cheaper to break up the monopolies and change the system to prevent them forming in the first place. Subsidizing new entrants without changing the environment that creates monopolies will just feed the beasts with fresh meat.

Exactly. The big corps will just buy the new players and everything will go back to the way it was.

This government has no vision.
