Nope. I was careful to avoid the term competition, as it implies a zero-sum game. That doesn't apply in a case such as this. Plurality can provide choice without being the result of competitive behaviour, and does not preclude co-operation between parties.

Also, capitalism should not be conflated with competition. Modern capitalism involves controlling markets and preventing competition.
