Re: What race?
Because the capitalist approach has worked so far... Oh, wait, no, the capitalist approach wasn't allowed to develop in the USA. Instead the government and the states offered quasi-state-sponsored monopolies to the companies to implement their systems.
So there is no capitalistic competition and as soon as someone starts threatening these monopolies, they act all hurt. Mobile is not as bad as cabled communications in the USA, but it certainly is a joke compared to what most countries seem to offer nowadays.
