Local governments generally grant monopolies to the cable companies only allowing access to the cable network for one carrier. So really, there is no competition. It has nothing to do with the lack of providers, it has to do with the lack of access to the consumers, which is granted via a local government contract.
There is no reason for this other than the lobbying efforts of Comcast, Time Warner, et. al.
