When competition makes you stupid

This article goes along with my rant that wireless companies are more interested in control than innovation, to the point that they're making less money than they could if there was a more open wireless system in this country. I'd gladly pay the extra $50/month or so for wireless broadband if I could get a good signal at our camp. There are three companies that give 1-bar or less coverage. If they didn't have to duplicate their coverage, they could blanket the area with more towers and give us higher capacity connections.
The real reason carriers are limiting services and charging more is to maintain control of what people can do on their networks.
