By the time the system has consolidated enough that there is little effective competition, those companies have also become so large that they can lobby for regulatory capture. It's not zero regulation, but rather a form of regulation that solidifies their position while still providing the same shitty service they always have.

Regulation won't work. The system is too far gone.

What other tools are there for ensuring a fair market? Government intervention seems like the only avenue

Stop expecting politians to be the source of change. The results will be lackluster, at best.
