You can't enter into the mobile phone market without a fuckton of resources. Even if you deregulated the market, if any small actor managed to gain some legs, they'd be smooshed or consumed by the monoliths of the industry. Because that's where free markets take us. Someone is more able than the rest, everyone pays into them, eventually, they're competing against those firms that were able to find the resources to mimic them.
