Well doesnt really have much to do with daoc, except if they are shut down (yea, bloody likely.. NOT), but im bored..
But Wanadoo is being investigated by the EU Commision for unfair business practices, their crime... selling cheap adsl (too cheap!)
okay, so those of you that didnt fall off your chairs, last year they were actually fined 10 million euros for selling cheap adsl.
ofcourse it isnt so simple.. they are actually being naughty.. see France Telecom owns 70% of Wanadoo, and FT sells line capacity to everyone, including Wanadoo.. and instead of FT lowering the prices, Wanadoo lowers theirs.. thous the 2 companies together squeezes the competition out of the market (Wanadoo have like 50% markedshare now).
(big profit in FT, and big loss in daughter company Wanadoo... hey its even tax deductable for FT!)
Anyway, i got these figures etc from a pretty low journalistic standard website, so you are warned.
ps. Lost In Translation is like the best insomniac movie ever
