Same thing happened here in Australia. It used to be Telstra having an monpoly on the industry, then singtel came in and called them shelves optus, then Asian gaint Vodaphone came in and then an new highly competitive and cheaper telco 3 and dodo came in. Dodo was basically became the poor mans communications and 3 force the big 3 to lower prices way down and increase serivces. Now vodafone bought out 3. We have basically 3 giants controlling the market.
Thankfully they are in an massive price war which is great. But what you americans might get is what our Banks did. You know in 2008-2009 when global banks were going bankrupt. Well in Australia that cant happen because the Banks are supported by the government. So what happens in those periods, Our big 4 banks become the most profitable in the entire world. Yep 4 banks in an population of 20 million turning over near an billion dolllars in profit every year, By jaking up the prices and riding interest rate rises and fees. All united together.
Thats what could happen to you guys with the telcos, all grouping up and halting the global increases in cap and speeds naturally given to customers for nothing. An instead halting that jak up the prices of the speeds and caps.
Hopefully you get none of that. Thats basically what we had going on before an price war is going on (1 year an my cap has increased by 12gb to 50gb and paying 20 less)
Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
