It's becuase they were on shaky ground from a monopoly point of view, and needed to be opened up to competition. The end result is people will go where they get the numbers 1st time for the lowest cost, which can only be a good thing.
Seeing what has happened in other countries where this has happened, however, looks like it has backfired somewhat - some companies have pulled out leaving only a few big players left.
