I promised not to post anymore on this discussion but it may of interest to 
the readers who have been following this European cost dilemma to read the 
July 17th issue of Business Week where (pg 83) tremendous opposition is 
already building up to prevent any cost DEcreases with the coming EC 
unification. France, Italy, Spain and Belgium are in the forefront not to cut 
costs or allow privatization of e-mail and data transmission services.

They plan to take their case to the European Court of Justice as their 
sovereignty is being violated.

So much for Unity of the European Community.
