It is "their" market. These entities are not democratic. They are for profit - At any speed :-) They are willing to use any dirty trick in the book. They don't play by the rules most of us take for granted. They are willing to shut down the free market if it increases their profits. These companies are like Bill Gates who accuse free software programmers of Communism. I don't like that - I'm A Libertarian and I can prove that communists are basically criminals. (Just take a close look at the eastern half of Europe - The ruins are still abundant and will remain so for another 25 years or more) Come to think of it - Microsoft - Founded by Bill Gates is a criminal company - Convicted in court - Several times over. Who is Un-American now? Those who seek freedom of choice in the free market or those who seek to reap profit by limiting the consumers choice in the free market? Who says I cannot run my own company that sells me pure water, streets, sewers, Internet, libraries and a lot of other services that I get better and cheaper from my own company? I don't ove my life to the state or private companies. I am a free human being and I will take my money elsewhere if the dentist down the street wants USD 260,- per hour for his services. And if glasses downtown cost 600 dollars, I will buy them online for 39 dollars. They will do just fine till I get time to visit Sweden :-) Why are all the best frequencies sold to private companies and the leftovers remain for "free"? To me it seems like a man who sells his toilet to an insurance company and "leases" it back for the next 27 years. How dumb can you get?
