How do you tell the difference between the inflationism of a government and the inflationism of companies?

I know that governments can cause inflation by printing more money, but what about companies continual hiking of prices, is that not inflation too? For instance, companies like Comcast will raise internet prices every year plus to "keep up with inflation" and "pay us more".<br><br>How do you tell what is government inflation and what is not? Or what is inflation caused by a society today versus inflation 15, 30, 60 years ago?<br><br>Is it completely government? Reminds me of the phrase, "Keep blaming the government for the economy, ignore what corporations are doing to it.".
