Compare this to India ...
Except for defense, ( no private contractors) , railways ( strictly state owned) , postal service (again state owned) all other services have state owned as well privately held service providers, banking, insurance, air and road transportation, health services, education, you name it. There is abundant competition in every field.
All services are firmly regulated and controlled by the state in the best interest of the people and national security. One has the choice to opt for any from a wide choice.
That is why there are NO burner phones available in India, No communication service is available without 100% verified identity of the individual availing that service. No way to hide caller ID. No way to disenfranchise absolutely any individual by any stupid ID laws. It happens to be a fundamental right as it should be in a true democracy. No filibustering either. BTW we do not have those moronic republicans, either.
