You can only believe AT&T is a monopoly if you believe the future of voice and data is through cell towers. My guess is, it's probably not.

- astrodust 16y agoLeft to an open market, it won't be, but if AT&T has its way, it will be. They will buy up or buy control over everything if they can. Wireless data is not something you want locked up by one company.
- Criztoph 16y agoDefinitely - competition played a huge role in making text message plans cheaper. With 1 less network that's available for consumers to choose from kills other chances of networks introducing agressive pricing, etc.
- s3graham 16y agoAre you referring to the analog TV spectrum? It seems likely the AT&T would try very hard to control that too. Or is there other near-term transmission protocols that you expect to be viable?
- Klinky 16y agoDon't forget that AT&T owns the line based U-verse service as well.
