Just to give you additional data point with cell phone prices.
I’m French but I’m living in the Us since a decade or so.
Cell phone prices are considerably cheaper in France ( €30 gets you unlimited everything on mobile and €80 is a combo for fiber + mobile plan )
But yet, that a heavily regulated market. If I’m correct there is 5 licences. All other companies have to buy and resell bandwidth thought those 5 licence. They tend to be French company.
Here I pay close to $200 total for the same service ( actually lesser service, I can’t have fiber where I live )
Maybe those expensive price are not due to that regulation? ( or maybe it is. I don’t know, but I wanted to give you a counter example )
