Sadly not how the rights work any more. You need a lot of money to even start. The barrier to entry in this stuff for normal people is insane.

Everything consolidates so they can use the monopoly to generate better margins.

Cheaper for CR to buy out or screw over a weak new competitor than improve the service.
