To be blunt, I'd rather they spend money putting up towers so I can make phone calls. In Europe, cell calls are just like landlines. In the USA, it's like Vonage.
Huh? OK, this is OT, but compared to Europe, this is the land of the flat data fees (unlimited usage) - way more expensive in Europe and most likely Asia as well. What does that have to do with being ahead?
Cell calls like landlines? Look at your phone bill the next time you call a European mobile. And secondly, while our coverage lags, generally you are either covered or aren't covered - and if you are, then GSM there is GSM here.
