I don't think the same set of interests are in play there. Phone companies have a government granted monopoly on things like wireless spectrum and public rights-of-way for wiring and other infrastructure, not to mention subsidies and tax breaks.

I can't come up with a good justification why a private company on the Internet cannot dictate how you interact with them. Facebook isn't infrastructure.
