If we're going to make fun of a political-theory-cum-religion, we might as well do it right: Oh, oh, I know, this is when the Free Marketeers will tell us all that it would be so easy to build out a massive continent-spanning cell phone network to compete with Verizon if only the FCC Nanny State weren't in the way. And that new network would certainly beat a network which has been entrenched for decades, because "Regulatory capture" is the only network effect networks have to deal with. Just keep saying "Regulatory capture" and we're bound to agree that the only way to deal with an imperfect system is to tear it down entirely.
