Vodafone chiederà 670 milioni di euro a Telefonica
Vodafone ha confermato l’indiscrezione secondo la quale si accingerebbe a chiedere circa 670 milioni di euro a Telefonica come risarcimento dei danni derivanti dall’abuso della propria posizione dominante nel mercato della telefonia mobile spagnola.
Il comportamento di Telefonica che Vodafone presume illecito si riferirebbe ad alcune azioni compiute dalla prima società tra il 1995 e il 1999, a danno degli affari dell’allora Airtel, poi acquistata da Vodafone nel 2000 al fine di incrementare i propri business iberici e ampliare la quota di mercato spagnola.
Vodafone ha stimato in 670 milioni di euro i danni subiti da Airtel grazie ad una relazione di stima compiuta dall’agenzia di consulenza Nera.
Telefonica non ha ancora voluto replicare all’annuncio del gruppo britannico, per quella che si preannuncia essere come l’anticamera di una lunga battaglia giudiziale.

Nokia N96 or Apple 3G iPhone - Whats your pick?
The much awaited Apple 3G iPhone made a ringing debut at midnight in Delhi on the night of August 21. The launch comes just a couple of days after the launch of Nokia's killer high-end N96. The Nokia N96 was launched on August 19 in Delhi.
THE IPHONE was launched in six cities: Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkatta, Chennai and Hyderabad, on the midnight on August 21 and will be available in 65 more cities from August 22 onwards.
It is believed that Nokia N96 is the clear winner against the iPhone as it incorporates added features which are missing from the iPhone. But at the same time, the N96 is a bit on the costlier side than the iPhone. Time will tell who would emerge as the winner in the long term.
The Apple 3G iPhone is priced at Rs 31,000 for 8GB and the 16GB version is available for Rs 36,000. Whereas, the Nokia N96 is available for Rs 36,000.
The N96 is a handy gadget which comes with with an integrated A-GPS that links both the satellites and local networks for navigation. The Nokia Maps 2.0 application has three country maps (India, Singapore and UAE) along with upgrade options such as City guides, turn by turn pedestrian mode and voice guided navigation for cars.
Looks wise, the iPhone wins the race with its stunningly sleek look.
Both the Apple’s 3G iPhone and the Nokia N96 would be in everyones wishlist. What’s your take? iPhone or the N96? The much awaited Apple 3G iPhone made a ringing debut at midnight in Delhi on the night of August 21. The launch comes just a couple o... more -

Vodafone: A Bad Omen for Europe?
A cut in the wireless company's sales forecast makes investors fear the slowdown in Spain could spread elsewhere on the Continent.
When Finnish handset maker Nokia (NOK) came in with better than expected quarterly results on July 17, the telecom sector was encouraged. Sales and shipments of Nokia's handsets were up. Just as important, a big part of the Finnish company's growth in the quarter came from Nokia Siemens Networks, its joint venture in telecom equipment with Siemens (SI). Sales for the network business surged 18% in the quarter, to more than $6.34 billion. The market took that as an indication demand remained strong for mobile handsets, despite economic uncertainty, and telcos would still put money into building and upgrading wireless networks.
But that optimism evaporated on July 22, when Vodafone (VOD), the world's largest mobile-phone company, reduced its sales forecast. The company said organic growth was lower than the previous quarter, primarily due to a decline in customer spending in Spain, which it characterized as a difficult "macroeconomic and competitive environment."
Vodafone's news was seen as an ominous sign that telecom operators, which have thus far been shielded from the economic slowdown, are starting to feel the pinch. The fear is the slowdown in Spain will spread elsewhere in Europe and that telco operators will respond by cutting back orders of mobile handsets and networking equipment.

L'antitrust apre un fascicolo sull'iPhone 3G di Tim e Vodafone
Saranno contenti i ragazzi - ed i firmatari - della petizione online organizzata su iphoneaffossato.com. A seguito di un esposto delle associazioni per il consumatore, l’Antritrust ha aperto un fascicolo contro i due gestori che commercializzano iPhone 3G in Italia, Tim e Vodafone. L’accusa? Possibile abuso di posizione dominante.
Il polverone alzato dalla blogosfera e recepito dalle associazioni di difesa del cittadino hanno evidentemente portato alla luce la chiassosa impopolarità delle tariffe decise dai due carrier. Al momento l’Authority è ancora in fase conoscitiva e sta raccogliendo informazioni a riguardo; ergo, al momento non è stata ancora avviata nessuna istruttoria formale. Intanto, la petizione ha raggiunto quota 6660 firme. Saranno contenti i ragazzi - ed i firmatari - della petizione online organizzata su iphoneaffossato.com. A seguito di un esposto delle... more -

£27,000 Mobile Phone Bill May Cause Bankruptcy
What a way to start the New Year - electricity bills, council tax and a bill for £27,000 for his mobile!
Ian Simpson has, more than likely, become Darlington's World Record holder for the largest mobile phone bill.
Chuffed to be playing on the internet with his new phone as his modem, poor old Ian is now facing bankruptcy after the bill. He had downloaded over 20 TV shows as well as a few music albums, but it seems he had overlooked his contract and the fact it doesn't include unlimited downloads.
As my mother says...'Always read the small print!' What a way to start the New Year - electricity bills, council tax and a bill for £27,000 for his mobile! ... more
