You make such a good point. Why does a company get to own our
airwaves? It doesn't make much sense. Who says it's the
government's right to auction off our airwaves? Because the
companies know how to utilize them better? Oh yeah, Verizon is
great at it...
There is no reason we should have to pay a company to use a cell
phone.
There's a hell of a lot of technology involved that's why.
It's not like CB or HAM radio, there's a massive transmitter in most
town and cities, there's repeater stations. It's all electronics that
costs money to run, electricity, repairs etc.
I don't pay rental costs, I just pay for calls and texts. It costs me
more but then I don't use it much as I'm near a computer or landline
a lot of the time.
