No. A monopoly is when a company dominates a product or service. This prevents competition by other companies and makes prices higher for consumers. A good example of a monopoly was the telephone company Bell Telephone. Before the company was broken up the only telephone service to consumers was Bell. If a consumer wanted a phone they had to buy or rent the phone from Bell and all long distance/ local calls were only done through Bell Telephone.
