People like to razz on it for being a free market, but it's really a gov. backed oligopy.

There is alot of people that do not have a proper understanding of what free market is, and misdirect the failing of the current markets from their proper blame point (government) to what they have associated with "free markets", failing to understand the influence that existing regulations have had on those markets including elimination of competition in the market.

Telco has not been a free market, ever.
