Note that you can't just a break up a monopoly because it's a monopoly. Being a monopoly isn't illegal (IIRC we came close to passing legislation in the 70s that would have made it illegal, but Congress never did). The firm needs to be engaging in some sort of unfair anti-competitive conduct. And even when the government wins a monopoly case, the monopoly isn't usually broken up these days (for instance the Microsoft case from 2001).
