What doesn't exist in real life? Physical constraints that create natural monopolies? If that is your argument its going to take more than a one liner to convince me.
I do agree that those most in need of regulation are not regulated enough and those least in need of it are (arguably) regulated too much, but as a small business owner I am far more concerned about collusion among established players then I am with being over regulated. The fix is to flip it... regulate small business less and big business more (though more mostly means enforcing the ones that already exist). If you have some idea on how to make that happen I'd love to hear it.

No.
For wireline, they exist because you have to tear up the street to run cable and get easements on private property in order to run cable. It is in the public's best interest to minimize how much the roads get torn up and in the public's best interest to have a neutral arbiter between the needs of the individual property owner and the telecom provider providing service to the wider community.
For wireless, service requires consuming part of the finite available frequency. Without regulation in each individuals best interest to use the most desirable frequency and the highest power that they can, which results in worse wireless service for everyone.

Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy! Things won't get any better so get used to it.
