I'm more disappointed that "regulating telecom" apparently means Net Neutrality these days. In the United States, the telecom industry engages in quite a bit of anticompetitive practices, specifically MSOs (multiple system operators) like Comcast and Spectrum. They frequently have agreements to be the only registered cable operator for a given geographic region. They frequently become the only provider for a given apartment complex or multi-tenant location. We're not allowed a la carte programming due to bundles of channels these companies have a large stake in because of distribution rights. Rates have been outpacing cost-of-living and previous profit margins year-over-year since the 90s. Consumer broadband internet is still slower than most other developed nations, and we pay more for it at all pricing tiers. The only time I remember seeing speeds increase while rates dropped were when Google started building out fiber, and that only happened in a couple microcosms. I think there's a serious need for trustbusting, but the tech industry at large doesn't seem to be a good target yet.
