facilities cost money. These carriers are spending over a billion per year at an absolute minimum and some like ATT in the tens of billions.
Some thing else to remember is Spectrum is easily used up. With the newer technologies like LTE you can fit more in the same frequency spectrum so costs in theory should drop. Think of it like T1 lines used to be. They used to cost $1000+ per month for 1.5 megabits. Now you can get 100 megabits for $179 per month. The facilities have to grow and if you look at like a supply and demand curve as the supply increases the costs drop assuming that supply outstrips demand.
