That sentence doesn't make any sense to me. There is no evolution without mutation.

Our best bet solution is currently regulation. Not great, but it works.

Some have very good arguments that it doesn't work, since the regulators are a lever that is most easily pushed by the powerful: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture

Also "monopolies" don't always have to be in the disinterest of the consumer. If there really is a single company that produces the best product, why punish it? The definition of "product" alone is difficult enough - does Apple have a monopoly on computers? on iPads?
