I think it's great that I live in a country where we have a choice of transmission formats, instead of that pesky standardization. I hope the EU figures out that what's important is not that the customer gets a choice of service providers, but that the service providers can choose whatever incompatible formats they want. See also: Sirius -vs- XM, Motorola -vs- Scientific Atlanta. Look for Coke and Pepsi to introduce incompatible bottles and proprietary vending machines sometime in 2010.

Strange that in Europe we actually have a greater choice of phones and services though ;)
