American Telecom companies have demonstrated that they will follow model 2.
Its very surprising that people argue about these businesses in the hypothetical.
America has only a few Telecom players. They will remain a few telecom players because fundamentally telecom has deep barriers to entry.
And these players have a long history of hugely anti consumer moves, laziness, deceit, cabal like behavior.
I really do not understand this, and hope someone can shed light on it.
Why do people talk about these firms, and trust them to act as model businesses.
1) Are many americans unaware of the history of malifide actions by telecom firms? (colluding to drive down prices during auctions, not building the network they were given tax breaks too, already existent rent seeking behavior and attitudes)
2) Is there some other principle that they believe these firms will follow, that overrides the obvious business incentive to cheat?
