T-Mobile and Sprint are forcing Verizon and At&T to reevaluate their plans all the time. That's a good thing.

T-Mobile, Sprint, Verizon and AT&T phone services, as common carriers, are all regulated under title ii, the same as ISPs are currently. Title II regulation does not seem to have stifled competition among the phone carriers so why would anyone assume that it would stifle competition among ISPs. It has not (as I illustrated earlier).
The only ones saying that Title II stifles competition are the ones trying to repeal the Net Neutrality protections offerd by Title II by trying to reclassify ISPs as Title I. They offer up no reasons as to why it would stifle competition. They offer up no examples of it stifling competition.
The fact of the matter is that title II regulations do NOT stifle competition, they do however, protect consumers.
The same people yelling about how we have to remove the regulations in order to get competition are also the same ones that try to sell you a trickle down economy, an idea that has never worked in all the times it has been introduced.
