Good point about the carriers controlling everything. But will they really be able to keep it up? Suppose an internet provider wanted to block certain services, for example, they could try to force you to use their house search engine instead of Google. It seems likely that people would avoid that internet provider.
The problem with mobile carriers is I think that people are not aware of what they should expect - they are not aware that they are denied the functionality "X", so they are not complaining to the carriers. But suppose one of the carriers would block for example Twitter, wouldn't people start to notice?
