Why is this brought up when VZW is owned 45% by Vodafone Group?

Doesn't make sense.
Where did you get that info? Wikipedia? I would not state any facts based on Wikipedia.
...
thats a good question. it would be nice if the FCC would force Vodafone to sell off its controlling interest to Verizon Communications. thats what they have been wanting anyway.

I really think this a more technical then it is anything else. It seems as long as they operate in the US they are considered a US company paying taxes and employing US workers and all. Vodafone considers VZW an affiliate and on their website says the...

I always though DT owned 100% of T-Mobile USA. This probably has something to do with the structure of things. Is DT or T-Mobile publicly traded at all?

sorry about the mess up, i guess doing this on a cell phone isnt too good... lol

and the spell check mashed the words together...
...
I like your point about "taste of both sides of the world for ideas" because there are a lot of things that are done differently in Europe that the U.S. doesn't learn from HEALTH CARE is one perfect example. I think the U.S. can learn a whole lot from...
