Actually, I don't think they want to be regulated by the FCC. I think they want to use the apparent threat of FCC regulation as an excuse to impose competition-stifling regulation on themselves.
I probably should have been more clear in my short post. As far as I can tell, the FCC isn't looking at regulating indecency on mobile phone services at all. Nor is Congress, which is considering regulating cable networks. Mobile phone companies may not really want FCC regulation, but they want to raise the issue and make it look as if they are avoiding it. They want to invite the FCC to look into it, to make noises about it, in order to maintain closed networks.
