Yes
I think about it so much and my answer is "YES"

There's a big competition amoing mobile companies.

Policymakers must define high-speed Internet access, whether provided by cable TV or telephone companies, as a telecommunications service and implement an obligation to provide nondiscriminatory access to these networks.
telecom deregulation
why would we even be asking this question? would you give your kids the code to your gun safe?Or, let them loose in you liquor cupboard? Obviously not! at&t are nothing more than time evolved pirates. Two hundred years ago they would have been prowling the seas with bottles of rum mi hearties.
Deregulation...Yeah, Right
We now have a ton of technology packaged by two major companies that promised to make these services more affordable to consumers if they were permitted to merge. AT&T and Verizon started out with very affordable packages until their merger stipulations were completed and mergers were granted by the regulatory agencies they heavily lobbied. The real result has been drastic price increases no longer requiring the approval of the CPUC, consumers left with few other company choices, and profit margins greater for these two companies than ever before in history.
Why are legislators and regulatory agencies protecting large corporations instead of us? Duh----the color green is the driving force of votes. It's delusional to think that market competition would stop corporate greed using its customers as the victims. Market competition and deregulation are synonymous with the word "joke".
Until all people get angry enough at the legislative branch and the regulatory agency within the state of California and branch that anger out to the federal agencies, everyone deserves to continue paying the higher costs of "market competition". Complain to your state and federal legislators about catering to large corporations that have recreated "monopolies" under the guise of "market competition" and new technology or pay the price. There is no nonprofit consumer advocacy group with enough money to sway the legislators. Only tremendous numbers of people can outweigh corporate political contributions.
Be a part of the action and make a difference. It takes weeks or months of work to pay the increased rates and only five minutes to write a letter.
Deregulation... YES!
no really, confucious say so-called deregulation sucks...
