you mean "loss of hypothetical revenue" ? you actually trust the government more to allow them to fix costs higher ...than the free market deciding a lower lost ?!! what about loss of opportunity costs (i.e. higher communication costs --> reduced competitiveness ) if calling costs are artificially fixed ? there are many better ways to cut costs -- starting by cutting some ridiculously high government salaries.
