Indeed. There's a kind of 'iron polygon' that is composed of the FCC, media corps, content corps, telecom corps, cable corps, satellite corps, lobbyists, Congressional patronage, and federal and state civil servants with agendas. Each node wields power over and/or shares power with other nodes. Promotion is from within. The unifying principle of the polygon is to plan the telecommunications industry in such a fashion that the polygon remains on top. This 'organization' has no customer service line, and the existing cell-phone companies essentially work as oligopolistic - and profitable - vassals of the polygon.
