Yes that's a good point. You could stipulate that some percentage of revenue must be spent on R&D and tie that to the profit margin over a multi-year period.

My concern is that the fees being imposed on consumers are instituted just because they can be and because competition is artificially limited, not to generate revenue so they can provide better service to consumers/attract new customers.

Like I said, it's already a non-free market in the telecom sector; just a matter of how deep down the rabbit hole you want to go in terms of regulation and dictation.

I don't pretend to know what the best course of action is... just spitballing.
