Notwithstanding that they may be right, being denied an iPhone has taught me that life can go on without one. And I have noticed something that is a terrible problem for Apple in Europe. The way the european market works, when you cross country borders you end up paying christ knows what for your data. The EU made a big fuss about forcing the phone companies to stop this illegal activity, the result of which was the phone companies telling the EU to get stuffed. Which they did. We still get pillaged everytime we move a few hundred meters.

and so this is the thing, the problem with the iPhone in europe. It is the sort of device you want exactly for traveling around. It is mobile, it does your office stuff on the move. But in europe, being on the move means having some prince who owns a telco raping you financially. It is a hell of a thing. The iPhone is certainly forcing the issue of the public right to broadband communications without being tax farmed. Finally we have a device that allows us to use the band width available, and more.

Yeah. when the revolution comes, the telco executives will be first up against the wall. The shareholder will be alright, though. They will in Switzerland with me. Waiting for the freaking iMyth to arrive.
