    Because there is no competition, there is no great

    incentive to control cost or to use resources efficiently.

    There is no need to spend much money on research

    and development, to improve processes, to develop new products, or to be responsive to customer needs.

    And an advantage could the newly - formed company have is that the monopolist can charge higher prices and provide poorer quality and service.

    poorer quality and service.
