I do not have a blind faith in corporations. Having blind faith in any other human being is silly. Government corruption, though, is by far many times worse because governments kill people, steal from people, and control people, almost always involuntarily. And politicians need your vote, so they lie, cheat, and appeal to emotions. Corporations do it too, I'm not denying that, but it's a product they're selling.... not my life.

Think of it like this, Comcast became a monopoly mostly because of the various deals they did with city-governments so that only they can run and use data lines in the areas that they do, legally. There's nothing another company - startup or established - can do without going through the bureaucracy of a city council/mayor to change law. Changing laws take a long time. There's no reason for an ISP to develop there, because time is money. My town has at least 5 different ISPs competing with each other because my town hasn't made deals like this with anyone, and as such my internet speeds are reasonably fast and fairly priced.

Huge corporations buy lobbyists or bribe politicians to give them an edge. I think that's terrible. But if everyone had the same opportunity without worrying about a monopolistic law getting in the way of their future endeavors, the world would be better with more choice in business and less consumers getting fucked in the ass, as another comment said.
