Po co zioniesz takim jadem? Arytmetyka obowiazuje
i w USA i w Europie, a telefony z Europy do USA
sa ok. 2 razy drozse niz w przeciwna strone.
W Europie monopole telefoniczne dopiero zaczynaja sie
kruszyc, ale to jeszcze potrwa. Dziwny zbieg okolicznosci
miedzy faktem istnienia monopoli a kosztem rozmow, prawda?
Bez zniesienia monopolu w Polsce osiagniecie obecnego poziomu 
telefonizacji w Europie zachodniej zajmie ze 20 lat. Ale 
wtedy Europa bedzie juz duzo dalej. Francuski i niemiecki 
rynek telefoniczny ma sie otworzyc stopniowo do 1998:

The Fast Lane to Germany's Phone Lines;
Partnerships Gear Up to Compete With Deutsche Telekom
    With Germany's telephone service scheduled for deregulation by 1998, just

information superhighway these days.
   This month, BellSouth Corp., a U.S. regional telephone company, said it was
forming a partnership with Thyssen AG, the German steel company, to compete
with Deutsche Telekom, the state monopoly, and Northern Telecom Ltd. of Canada
has teamed up with Daimler-Benz Aerospace.
   British Telecommunications PLC, meanwhile, has announced a joint venture withthe German utility Viag AG to provide voice and data transmission to
corporations. And Cable & Wireless PLC of Britain is joining with Veba AG,
another German electric utility, on a telephone joint venture.

   "All the major players are looking at Germany now," said Hans Peter Peters,
managing director of Morgan Stanley's office in Frankfurt. "The rush is on to
see who will get a joint venture going first and then hope that the German
government will give them a license to set up a telephone system."
   The race in Germany reflects growing competition throughout the Continent,
where European Union rules have mandated that all telephone business will be
deregulated by the beginning of 1998. This will also open other big markets in
France, Italy and Spain to outside competition.

   Indeed, analysts say telecommunications is the most lucrative industrial
section Europe, generating profit estimated as high as $30 a telephone 
line each year.
