Uummm... Having 3 big companies provide services for the whole country is "competition" in your eyes? They lobby and get laws passed to make huge barriers to entries for cellular competition.

Restaurants aren't monopolized like our telecom & cable providers you know how I know? Search for a local restaurant online, hundreds of providers with individual owners, no monopoly.
