I'm not sure what you mean by cell phones being subsidized, but if you're referring to them being given away free or at reduced prices for signing long-term provider coverage, that's not being subsidized.
Reducing foreign oil consumption is a very big issue that the US government has to address, for security and economic reasons. Increasing personal entertainment or communication isn't.
