I think this was just an act of vandalism and will not be repeated this year at least so I will be able to access the Internet.

Companies out –source because it is cost effective and often much more effective in other ways too. The Unions all over Europe are very strong and that is why the is 12% to 15 % unemployment. Once someone has been with a company three years – it is almost impossible to fire or lay them off, and there are also more benefits to which they are entitled. So people are hired for short term contracts, and unless you work for a major corporation your job will never last more than a couple of years

. Small companies just cannot afford it, there are always lawsuits and the laws are written in such a way as the company can never win a labor dispute. Consequently, there is a huge underground economy which really is bad for everyone. But the laws make is necessary. Companies like Telefonica can handle this the just jack up their prices. But most other companies are not able to do that and remain competitive.

. American's call it the European disease.

ignore chickita
I found your post interesting

a British company bought MCI for a while
they billed me one dollar for something I didn't know I had
I ignored their bills cause I had switched back to ATT
when I called them to ask what am I being charged for every month, I am now with ATT
she said it's cause I didn't call them to discontinue
they continued to bill me $1 a month, now it reached $3
I thought she'd offer to remove the $3 bill
instead she sent collections after me
last week MCI called to get me to switch back
I told girl the whole story
she said MCI took billing away from that British company cause they lost all the customers
Love, Palo
