The problem is manyfold: a) corporate view points can be quite twisted for no reason. b) carriers in many countries overpaid for the 3G licenses, and are now in the bad situation that they are hardpressed to show any profits. c) 3G means fast data connection, but only for a small number of users => these means that the carriers are in the bad situation of cable internet providers, it's just worse for them. ;) Andreas _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
