When AT&T announced they were going to buy T-Mobile, everyone freaked out. America needs more competition, not less, and apparently the government came to the same conclusion when they told AT&T to piss off and leave the nation’s fourth largest operator alone.

Deutsche Telekom, France Telecom, Telecom Italia, Telefónica, and Vodafone; these are the five wireless operators that pretty much run the show over in Europe.
