in A fake Colbert puppet is taunting me on The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs
Why hate Finns, at least they pay their war debts.

I also agree with lastangelman #8, no pussies in Finland. It reminds me of a Finn story. When a small band of Finns were in the mountains and they saw thousands of Russians marching toward them one Finn turns to the other and says, "So many Russians. Where will we bury them all."

in Tim Wu and Wireless Net Neutrality Regulation on The Technology Liberation Front
While there is competition between carriers in the US there is also much more innovation and services available on the networks outside the US. Further, as he points out in his paper, the carriers have a number of non-competitive requirements. Two examples are, disabling phones for other networks and not allowing dual mode WiFi phones on their networks.

Apple just did an end around on the second point by having Cingular agree to their phone sight unseen. If the carriers were not so restrictive we would have seen these types of phones a while back.

I am all for competition, it is just the anticompetitive behavior I have trouble with.
