Euro Operators Want Apple, Facebook, Google to Pay Up

LMAO! Seriously...I completely agree with you bluecoyote. That is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time.

Hilarious. I think Apple, Facebook, and Google should pull their products. Europeans can go back to using Nokia's latest-and-greatest-from-2004 product line and continue their tradition of never getting stuff done. 🤣

Hi Steve! No, not starting anything. You're right on this one. It has no merit and they're stupid for even thinking of it. Let em continue to use Ovi. Weird how they named Facebook in all of this. Zuckerberg must be rolling.

So can the websites also claim that the carriers owe THEM money because wireless phones have increased the usage of their servers?

And then both of them owe money to your local power plants because all of these computers and cell phones increase electric consumption...

I can't decide if this is more or less shamelessly bold than the RIAA trying to force FM radios into all phones. The carriers are trying to extort actual cash payments like gangsters, but somehow the RIAA's governmentish thuggery of telling manufacturers how to build phones seems more invasive.
