If US wireless companies operated in Europe, they would have been fined and legislated into submission by now. Not here. We have clowns who still believe government regulation is bad. Therefore, the private sector should 'regulate themselves'.
End Result, monopolies like Verizon and the failure of the free market. We have a country of 300 mill with only 4 major cell carriers. While other countries with 1/15 our population have 5 or 6 major cell carriers and are providing 20+ mb data services. Lets not forget services like two way video calling. Which for consumers in the US, is still at the science fiction stage.
