Re: let the market place work

Competition has brought us what? Two competing cellular standards that prevent true competition because users just can not take their equipment elsewhere.

Worse all of them make you sign leases with promises of payment if you leave your service.

That's a captive market not a free market.

I can go to any car dealer and get a car because they all drive on our roads. Imagine if one road was for fords only and the other was for toyotas. And that in order to drive on the other road you'd have to buy a new car.
