That's what regulations are for. We let them have their regional monopolies, and they build out service everywhere, even the nonprofitable builds. Then we just stopped doing that when the bribes got big enough, and this problem came into being. All those shacks in the middle of nowhere have phone lines because of this regulation, which is totally still on the books, by the way.
