Ah, regulatory capture. An American pastime as old as apple pie, baseball, and tax loopholes. Telecoms took ENORMOUS sums of money to upgrade their systems and did nothing. Now they want to pass the upgrade costs onto consumers. These corporate shitlords have enormous legal slush funds to muddy the waters and throw dirt in the air any time reasonable accountability comes their way. There is no equal power protecting the consumers interest. Claiming that its "inappropriate" to investigate costs is lazy class warfare.
