We've had things like that for a long time. Suppose you have a new house and you want electricity in it. You need a line to the main power network, right? Ok, so you pay for it - you pay for the cables and other, you pay for the workers. No, you can't buy the cables elsewhere - only the final bit of cable from the column to your meter, and the meter is what you (must) buy separately, and wherever you want.

Now the good part. Once you sign up a contract with the electrodistribution (i.e. the power supply company), you hand them over all those things you bought, it becomes their property for nothing, because they'll maintain it and you can't be allowed to do maintenance on a public power network yourself.

That's multiple monopoly - in neither of the steps you aren't allowed to buy elsewhere, and once you pay it all, it ain't yours.
Make sure Billy doesn't read this.
