There's so much competition in the wireless space? Then how come the pricing and service choices still look so much like those that oligopolists would offer?
The differentiated-services thing is also a disaster waiting to happen -- it essentially encourages the big bandwidth providers to neglect their "plain old internet" and put all their investment into the unregulated side. (Those of you with more historical knowledge than a skink may recall exactly this game being played by telephone companies when they lobbied to have pretty much everything they did classified as "information services" and hence not subject to common-carrier rules.
