Holds true for almost everything except cell services. The Obama administration put a lot of funding into getting cell towers in rural areas which has definitely contributed to the lower prices we see now. It would be interesting to see how the price of goods/services in government assisted industries change over time, and what could cause the disparities to exist

I remember when we got our first flat screen tv as a kid. 32" Tv (It was huge compared to the tube tv we had). It was over 500 dollars in the late 2000's for the cheapest model (Not sure exactly what year, probably like 2008-2009). Now you can get one for less than 200 dollars
