Even as the industry consolidated, making it more difficult for small and regional carriers to be competitive, prices dropped and coverage rose. It might not feel like that when you pay your wireless bill, but the GAO concludes that (when inflation is factored into the equation) 2008 prices were only half of what they had been in 1999.

The two sides have been talking for almost a year, trying to work out some deal to free up the Performance Rights Act from its legislative logjam in Congress.
