Now you are just plain trolling - sorry, I won't play along. Your constant insistence on using fallacies, misrepresentations and straw-man arguments clearly shows that you are not interested in having a meaningful discussion.

Look, it's really simple. The reason why these companies charge so much is because consumers are willing to pay the price; not because they NEED a cell phone, but because they WANT one. Hence, there's noone else to blame but us.

If we were talking about food or water, then yeah... you would have a point, because people have to have these things, and would have no choice but to pay the asking price if two or three companies controlled access to them. But not when we're talking about a damn cell phone.

If we were to all just say, 'Screw it... we're not paying these prices for cell phones', then the prices would come down, or these companies would go out of business. That is an undeniable FACT, and is the way the market is supposed to work. But somewhere along the way, too many people started thinking that these greedy corporations are like schoolyard bullies that we need to government to fight, because we're too f**king scared to stand up to them.
