Should have let Germany keep France

The average IQ of the planet would be a bit higher.

Google Paying Orange?

WTF? It isn't Google generating the traffic. Youtube video doesn't come unsolicited. GMail isn't delivered unsolicited. These services are ONLY delivered because Orange's customers requested it. Google is opening a can of worms they're going to wish they hadn't as greedy operators worldwide look to double dip, charging twice for content delivery.

Re: Google Paying Orange?

Same thoughts. It's ridiculous. If those enormous network costs cannot be covered with existing consumer revenue, here's a two step plan:

1) Eliminate inefficiency and waste from bloated and bureaucratic processes/organizations
2) Adapt services/products that are priced below a profitable level

Imagine the electric company going after folks who make the hair dryers, space heaters, electronics, coffee pots, air conditioners and [name your favorite energy sucking appliance].

Re: Google Paying Orange?

Without content, who needs Internetz? Orange should worship at the feet of content creators for without them their revenue model evaporates.
