And now, I've got a visual representation of how much competition for telephone, cell-phone and broadband, we've got here in the states.

Especially for broadband, guess who's network is the back bone for prety much every ISP in the states? And that same enormous company is still handing over traffic to NSA, whoooo! I love 'free-markets'.
