* In 2005, triumviratul marilor operatori de servicii de telecomunicatii din Franta (Orange/Bouygues/SFR) a fost desfiintat in 2005 in urma unei decizii finale a Inaltei Curti de Casatie pentru intelegeri anticoncurentiale ce impiedica evolutia calitatii serviciilor. * In Romania, cartelul telefoniei mobile Vodafone/Orange/Cosmote nu a fost amendat niciodata pentru intelegerile care continua sa tina preturile [...]

It’s definitely a crazy world out there. Within the modern human race, there are many thing that inspire mob-like behavior on a large scale.
