Electricity and Gas - The Swiss, due to early deregulation
You found a country with a population less than 3% of ours, smaller in size than 43 of our 50 States, extensive water resources making for cheap hydroelectric power, and a hugely wealthy populace. Hell, *I* could string a power line from one end of the country to another in about 2 hours. And yes, I would like proof that the amount of regulation the Swiss companies have is actually less than in America.

Phone - The Brits before the recent acquisitions
The Brits? You're kidding, right?

Cellular is also very lightly regulated.
Compared to what? The software industry? Why don't you go start your own cellular service? Just pick a random piece of the spectrum and start broadcasting. Put up a few stations on some power lines-- the electric companies won't mind, I promise.

I mentioned hypergrowth and supernormal profits. Why are you trying to change the subject of my post?
I decided to ignore your buzzwords and pick on an easily dismissable claim of yours.
