they all have -some- sort of regulatory oversight, but the level of this
(at least on teh interstate/federal basis) is strongly dependant on their
size.  to oversimplify, the larger the company, the more regulation.

AT&T is constantly bitching about the governmental interferecne in their
activities, as opposed to the level required over at the others.  they, in
turn, keep saying that AT&T's market share is so great that the regulation
is warranted.
