Tuesday’s announcement by Vodaphone that they will launch their new 3G mobile service in Germany and Portugal is another topic which rattles some skeletons which have recently been kept well locked-away and out of reach.
As the Times is only too willing to remind us: “the auction of 3G licences conducted in the UK was the [...]

Thankfully, this time we’ll lose to some very deserving blog, rather than some hateful idiot.
