I agree
While I like most believe the cost of text messaging is too high, surely there are other areas in which the service providers can be scrutinized. Unless collusion can be shown, I don't see anything the companies could be doing wrong. As the accuser, the government has the burden of proof.

Is cell phone service going to be declared an essential service and in effect "nationalized" if the government decides the price is too high? Will the government dictate permissible cell phone service rates?
