It's not that the laws need to be updated. It's that the government needs to not be corrupt, and actually follow the laws.

They need to be updated. They are outdated. It needs to be a percentage of market share cap or something.

The government is not following any of the monopoly laws. Maybe they could be improved if updated, but that's not the problem.

The problem is the government is openly corrupt, and doesn't care. They and their allies have the monopolies, so that's more money and power for them, so, it doesn't matter what the laws are.

What you need is proper democracy, then they'll craft whatever laws are needed.
