The problem is how do you remove the incumbents. Oil lobby is pretty strong. Imagine what would happen to car lobby once we have teleportation.

There are scifi stories that have that kind of premise. Here's one, about electric power: "Damned if you don't" by Randall Garrett (https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/24064/pg24064-images.ht...). I think there was also one about teleportation, although I can't remember where I read it.
