    I believe that the distinctions between these is not the graphs but what the means for regulation is. Natural monopolies, if I remember, are things like utilities where it's actually more cost efficient to merge together and monopolize because start-up costs are so expensive. So in these cases, the government allows the monopoly to exist but regulates it. Hope that helps you.

    But it's not a regulated monopoly is it?
