Monopolies are another discussion, Sunday ticket isn't a monopoly. But I lived in Germany recently, the service is garbage and the prices are much higher in a country that requires a fraction of the cost to run lines because of its size, so don't buy the hype.
For instance, at high speeds of 45 Mbps and over, the OECD report has the US ranked 30th out of 33 countries, with an average price of $90 a month. With phone and TV thrown in, plus some premium channels, these packages often cost $200.
