I really liked this until I read this sentence:<p>>> "Europe has 1,200 fixed operators and over a hundred mobile operators. The US has six mobile operators and China has three."<p>Prices and competition in the US are abysmal compared with most EU countries. The goal should be to reduce the number of duplicate operators (O2 + Telefonica), not get down to a small number of carriers with little competition.
The shameless and outrageous sodomy of the consumer by every telco in every EU country (especially when roaming) and the vested interest of continuing to sodomize consumers in this way makes me highly doubt that any of these companies have any interest at all in creating a "single telco" market as described in this article.
>“If one individual would like to watch high-definition films of what one petabyte means, it would take 13 years non-stop,” he added.<p>I'm not sure what this means.
