You miss the point

You are so bent on running around waving the banner "Wireless companies are a monopoly" have you ever considered that maybe they are not?

Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, Alltel, T-Mobile, Nextell, US Cellular, Virgin Mobile, are just a handfull of the 200 or more carriers in the nation.

Now, seeing that the investment was theirs, the advertising is theirs, the upkeep is theirs, the R&D is theirs, why should they not have a say into what should work on their networks?

Or are you one that feels a person has every right to walk into a restaurant of their choosing, though not purchasing anything, instead bringing their own food, using only the table as they do not charge you for that?

If a wireless carrier offers a plan with the intent of using that plan to make money from that sale, how is bypassing them on the network they created and maintaine for free of
helpfull to them in a business sense?
