..next we get an airplane in the bundle

its really funny, but a combination of marketing, technology and revenues make us dream here in Greece, about what we would like next in a bundle with the double play. I, personally, got a decent MP3 player like a PDA, now some operators give away in the bundle, laptops or multi-machines with scanner and print functionalities. And all this to promote ADSL when Verizon was promoting Fios-TV with full-HD TV, will soon come up in Greece. The good thing that all these devices are extremely useful, but the consumers on the other hand are confused, cause its really not worth to lock yourself with an service provider for 2-years just for a laptop? There should definitely be other criteria, but the providers are trying really hard in the switching battle and gaining more business.

I want, I want..hmm back to my iPhone stories, guess soon Vodafone will do the magic bundle for me..to me me happy:)

Managing Editor

I decided, here in Greece, to look at things from a more critical spirit starting from the Greek Telcos and expanding globally. A new business magazine will soon be published in an every 2-months frequency for Telcos executives under my supersvision and intellectual writing style, aiming to bring some new blood and directions to the Greek Telcos! Dont forget that Greece is in the broadband EU tail in penetration together with the new members Bulgaria and Poland, which is unacceptable...The title of the magazine is "Telecom's Review" sort of conservative, my initial idea was "Telco2Go", meaning keep walking and progressing, but was too ambitious and was rejected :) Thus I am discovering and exploring my talent in Telecom Management as a journalist also, and I think its really cool. The publisher is "Boussias Communications", organizing conferences and publishing other managament magazines. The site is in Greek, sorry, but working on that..

keep you posted!
