I've noticed convoluted pricing happens in these industries for consumers: - Airfare - Cell phones - Many telecom services - Banking & finance - Healthcare - Lawyers? - Accountants? One common pattern they have is they're prone to monopoly effects either through regulation or network effects.

All of those involve heavy regulation by the state and most were state granted monopolies.

  Air travel still worked while it was regulated.

    If they added all the TSA & more regulations while it was 'regulated' would you still say that?
