With a great, always exciting neighbor (plus the ericsson-swedes) Finland knows a lot about socalled corruption this and corruption that, especially that the first step forward is to build a decent local level of taxsation and thus long term salary for those involved. That is why Nokia is so eager to build manufacturing plants, distribution systems, logistics, etc everywhere were the market is suitably large enough. Local employment and thus local taxes do magic, together.. (compare Texas, USA and both China and India, where the plants are positioned) The CHango warriors are about to arrive: djembe.drumset.free.fr Ilmarinen. PS Luckily times have just changed, almost drastically, even in many regions in africa (hmm..where were those africa-phones introduced??) PPPS handsets are better for the locally taxed economies than networks.. However, I guess there will be some surplus QCDMA networks alive (but not so well) for some time, maybe even in Nigeria??

But I agree, I am also slightly worried about Vodafunny and their taxfree sharecropping free market ideas. But the local banks like both SIM-cards and phone-supported micro-credits..

Just to quote, although he did not really and totally like the way he was presented (but he has a great sense of humour, especially when badly needed, and knows what buttons to kind of push in response) --- "Dr. Yunus has branched out. He began a company to sell solar panels in Bangladesh, providing an energy alternative to the country's power grid. He's providing wireless phone service, and he is opening a plant to provide inexpensive baby formula and other food for the poor. In awarding Dr. Yunus his peace prize, the Nobel committee said, "Lasting peace cannot be achieved until large population groups find ways to break out of poverty." It's an honor to welcome Dr. Yunus --- ENRON has been in Bangladesh too and governments still tremble elsewhere..
