I think that's flawed logic there.
Just because the industry (telecom companies) don't want it, doesn't mean it's good for us, the consumer.
However, they have been in the game longer, and can better predict the damage a duopoly would do.
When a company gains too much power, they start locking things down trying to make the consumer play their game and do things their way.
It's very much how Apple and Sony behave.
By the very same logic, I believe that's why so many of us like the PC platform.
We don't have to conform to how companies want us to use the hardware they sell us.
Having more options on the table would allow us to keep supporting open systems, consider it a check against a closed system.
The more more choices, we the consumer have, the better off we are in the long run.
But consumers are too short sighted.
Shining Example?
Just because I like what the mobile phone market would look like with a strong Nokia, doesn't mean I'm going to sacrifice owning a better smart phone for the next 3 years.
That is called fan boyism.
