Yes, but I can switch companies when I'm not happy with my current company or don't like their policies. Also, my AT&T phone can call my friend's Verizon phone.

That wasn't always the case. There was a time before I was born where you either had a phone through Ma Bell or you didn't have a phone.

Yes, but market forces did not solve that problem.

Should we not worry about Facebook because government will solve it?

What about their uptake of new technologies to return savings to customers? Both those providers don't want VOIP to become the norm.

Until the US government spent 10 years pursuing action (back when corporations didn't completely control the govt).

10 years is a eon in internet time.
