The industry disagrees with the report. Verizon Wireless issued a statement, saying, "The U.S. has the most intensely competitive wireless market on the planet, and it's becoming more competitive by the day."

What a f*ckin' joke! The epitome of Corporate America's sick mentality. The most intensely competitive wireless market for WHO?! The top 2 carriers and their split of 60% of the entire US market?!?!

Meanwhile, they're kicking the sh*t out of the little guys while raking in billions. Lame.

Everyone loses in government forced competition. That's the irony of the European system - European countries are among the most regulated countries in the world, yet they leave the telecoms to do their business, for the most...
