Electromagnetic Spectrum Policy

Why does America allow a monopoly on specific frequencies that are transmitted over the airwaves? Recently there was the battle for 700mhz that Verizon won, and whenever they announce a technology for that, they have ultimately got a monopoly now. In Europe, consumers are allowed to go to any carrier they want (cellular) because of the fact that all the networks have to compete on merit for the consumer, not because they 'bought in' a frequency. Does the FCC see the problem with locking consumers to specific carriers? The low cost phones are subsidized by high termination fees and long term contracts with high rates. Help us out here!
