"Competition among wireless providers could hurt profits in the wireless industry, according to a report by Reuters. T-Mobile's aggressive price structure, abandonment of contracts, and termination-fee payments have put downward pressure on mobile costs for consumers, and Wall Street analysts are forecasting a reduction in profits in the wireless sector as a result. AT&T in particular is showing signs of stress. While this may be bad news for the wireless industry, it's good news for consumers."

Why the hell do most industries, especially the ones with high barriers to entry, think that they deserve record profits every quarter? Why not just be happy having a decent return on investment?

Damn - never mod points when I need them. This is something I've said many, many times - why are some industries guaranteed a big profit while other have to just compete without help? And what ever happened to making a reasonable profit instead of squeezing every last penny out of your customers?
