Standard Oil did just that. That among other things to eliminate competition in the pursuit of profits. One of the reasons why there's anti-trust laws. I guess AT&T would fit too.
Ironically enough both Standard Oil and the old AT&T trust are slowly coming back together through various corporate mergers. The latter moving quicker then the former in it's assimilation efforts.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
