The telcos are government controlled, sponsored, and protected corporations. The entire industry is practically one giant government sponsored monopoly system.
We live in an era in which the US Government has the power to directly control every single aspect of the economy. Either directly or indirectly via threats. There are laws on the books to dictate everything and anything, using one agency or another.
This is nothing but government in action. Classic state sponsored corporatism, aka fascism lite.
We have a Hollywood sponsored President for crying out loud. They own him, every bit as much as people liked to claim big oil owned George W. And we have a VP that likes to break international law to fulfill Hollywood's demanding lobbyists.
