Re: Capable of encryption
If the Electric company is City owned, then it is not a monopoly, it is a Public company. It is expected that a public company has no competition, because that's the way it is goes. Think BT, British Rail, British Gas et al, before privatisation. They were 'Monopolies', but they were also publicly owned.
If they were a private company with no competition, that would be a monopoly.
