Is money earned from selling telecommunication scratch cards, which are bought from telecommunication companies and sold at lower prices, permissible or impermissible, especially given the difficulty of obtaining licenses due to the telecommunication companies' monopoly?

The law's restriction of licenses to specific companies does not fall under prohibited monopolization.
