And not enough common sense. Verizon and AT&T rule their respective roosts. They do not need to negotiate or have competitive price plans - as they pretty much rule it all.

Let's forget for a second that Verizon and AT&T are MUCH more expensive than Sprint, and look at the fact that Sprint is the ONLY national carrier with unlimited data.

It's the fact that Verizon and AT&T think they can get away with capping you - and also charging you more.

So yes, Dan was discussing how two mega-companies are not good for the average person - and it shouldn't be in any ones interests (besides the corporations) for Verizon and AT&T to expand further.
