The UMTS-Differences in France and Germany:

            France          Germany

Provider    SFR/Vodaphone   Vodaphone

Price       75 Euro         30 Euro
Speed       384 kBit        1.8 MBit
Time        16 hours        730 Hours (= unlimited)
Trafic      500 MByte       5 GByte

Now calculate the difference!  Your brain wil produce a SEGV

                   2.5  :  1
                   4.7  :  1
                  45.6  :  1
                  10    :  1
                ==============
                  5358  :  1

Thats the live in the European Union.

Oh, my GlobelSat connection is cheaper then
French GSM/EDGE/UMTS Providers.
