the cost of direct internet use in Europe is exhorbitant. so Dell's cost reduction aggreement scheme in the UK helps pave the way (finally) for Europeans to come to the net in much larger numbers. and with increased net use, increased PC use. maybe US investors don't clearly understand the full implications of these agreements for European net use and PC purchasing.

Hey Mo,..Re:.Merill & IDC on DELLnet. (Other:Japan recovering? Thanks for the info. ECB needs to do something to get Germany growing but they are somewhat shackled because Ireland and France are doing very well in the growth category. But since they are all linked by the euro, to ease would supposedly risk 'growth above trend' in the countries who are already thriving just to jump start the German economy. The Economist had a good article on the German economy and it's solution rests in structural reform. economist.com On Japan, that's really good news, especially if it's not a one quarter fluke. But according to Bill Siedman, who by the way is a very practical person, they haven't really tackled the structural changes that needed to be made. I think it's very difficult for them because of their cultural history. On Dell, I guess I'm hesitant about the 'free' internet access because I don't know the details and how will it really affect usage when their phone structure is still going to be costly in some way to the user.
