Oakland, ME | 2,500 Euros doesn't seem like much of a fine I wonder if Scarlet makes more money per day than that, so they can afford to pay the fine and keep happy customers vs. keep messing with the network and annoying customers till they leave. |

It isn't much of a fine. They could raise their rates 1 euro a month and easily cover all the fines.
From their web site:
For the full-year 2007, Scarlet is estimated to record revenues of approximately ¤ 125 million and an operating income before depreciation, amortisation and non-recurring items of at least ¤ 18.5 million. So the fine is 2500 euros a day * 365 days = 912,500 euros
So that comes to .73% of their revenue and
4.9% of their profits.
