It is important, in the first instance to address the issues around the type of monopoly being referred to. Depending on the type of the monopoly structure, the competition laws in effect and the type of good or service being produced by such a firm, then we can assess the extent and degree of government involvement. Government will only intervene when the market has failed and when the monopolistic practices are abusiev or exploting the consumers. It should be government prerrogative to protect its people. Governments can and if there is need or justification curb monopoly power. Government has a duty to observe the laws governing a monopoly and should there be a need, such lwas can be amended to attain some but not limited to the following results, (a) price controls and ceilings; (b) product quality controls; (c ) accessibility to the product; (d) relative information availability; (e) remove or reduce entry barriers to allow for perfect or imperfect competition. There are lots of monopolies that have faced serious challenges when the market was opened for new entrants, yes, governments need to curb monopoly power in suita ble instancec.
