Would you be so kind as to link to your source? Because I think you're conflating 2 separate concepts.
There is only 1 CATV provider for the vast majorioty. But there is CATV, TELCO, plus DISH ISPs in addition to Cellular (which a lot of people are just using in lieu of hardwired).
Comcast & TWC did not compete because neither can make a business model entering the same markets when there is already a 3rd provider (typicallyu Verizon or AT&T or Centurylink).
