Google didn't have a true monopoly on feeds, though, that's ridiculous and I would expect a guy like Krugman not to bother making that point. There aren't really any barriers to entry in the field, there are tons of alternatives; it's all about name recognition.

EDIT: and I don't think the whole fixed costs thing really applied either.
