Are "owner" of mobile telephone infrastructure allowed to do "whatever 
they want" (example: filtering)?

I think - no.

And (as a second point) what about monopolies/oligop. in the US? Are 
there any restrictions for them - for example allowing others to use the 
infrastructure (to enable a free mart)? If not - it should be I think. 
Monopolies are bad - also in the theorie of capitalism. Or (to precise 
this) it is imho part of the so called neoliberalism that monopols have 
to be controlled or avoided. It is (for sure) part of the German version 
of the neoliberalism - the ordoliberalism wich is (in the end) called 
"social market economy" (Ludwig Ehrhard/Manfred Müller-Armack).
