Was the U.S. among the first countries to have universal telephone service, 
and there's this humongous investment in the old technology that's still 
supposed to be a cash cow? Assuming something like the basic goodness of 
human nature, executives from the telcos are only wanting to sustain their 
business, hence the "artificially" high costs of wireless relative to land 
lines. ...problem is we've had the example of the Enron's, Worldcom's, 
Tyco's, etc..
