They are building 4g networks mainly for smarphones and data cards, and you're already trying to cut out over 50% of their market.

First of all flat out, its not my responsibility as a consumer to pay to recoup the cost for something I do not want or will not be using.
By that argument am I supposed to pay for the cost a cable company may layout if I have internet and TV service with them, if they then decided to offer a phone service to what they have if I don't buy that service, simply because my modem has a phone jack in it?
No.
An no one is stopping anyone from recouping any looses.
The choice to offer this service or not offer it and in and to what degree of costs it is, is the carriers choice an if they want to make it that’s fine.
But if the carriers make the decision to add something to their services that if given the choice there isn't enough people out there who want it, then why are the ones who don’t supposed to pay for that?
Simple put in this country we have a thing called supply and demand, if anyone comes up with a business or service that can’t pay for itself by the demand that comes from choice of the consumers who do want it when offered to them, then it fails, and it’s the offer of that service that suffers as they are the ones who responsibly for that.
But it is not our responsibility as consumers just because we wish to purchase other services they offer and not that one to be forced to pay to make up for what ever losses come from the fact that there is not enough demand to pay for that, and especially we serious should not be “forced” to do so by all the crooked means and ways this has been done.
Of course for someone who does decide and is getting that service and doesn't care about others and wants them to help pay for it for them even if it means that money is getting stolen from others, all just so they don't have to pay more for it and or may loose it, then I guess I can see how they would come up with your reasoning p.
