Unfortunately, we are seeing more oligopolies forming that in any time in US history. The perfect example is the mobile providers (note how they have banned together on termination fee costs). My wife and I are actually visiting our local library again as it is a great place to relax and learn with others wanting to do the same. Digital media has it place, but I'm not convinced that we are there yet. And truly, how many books/magazines are really worth the price you pay for them (everyone these days is writing a book)? The classics are priceless, most of what passes as literature today is rubbish.
