I suppose I would answer that by saying that I'm not referring to simply phone companies; I'm referring to telecommunication service providers. For example, there are a very few large ones, but then there are other companies, like web hosting companies, web server companies and server hosts, that buy, rent or obtain services from the larger companies and then resell those directly to the public, and there are prepaid mobile services, so there are other companies that resell the platform or the services that are provided by the larger companies. When that happens, the larger companies don't have access to the subscribers of those smaller services.
