Why?

Here you have to buy access to certain frequency ranges(big money required). The bidding happens from time to time. Building the network infrastructure is not cheap either and requires specialists to work for you.

I'd rather buy that 4G from a company that can deliver it everywhere I go than move backwards in progress to use some random WIFI hosted by Joe that fights over the same frequency as John's across the road.

The "cartel" networks work pretty good tbh. They just have stagnated in everything else but networking.
