Plus, "my expenses went up, so now I can raise prices" isn't supposed to be how markets work.

Cost of supplying the services is one of the biggest determinants of price. If prices fall below cost for too long then the entire market collapses.

If one provider's expenses went up, they generally can't raise prices, but if every provider's (even potential ones) expenses go up, then they can.
