Comment Re:$70/mo for TV ... (Score 1) 72

none ... it's a international company and the difference is due to open market competition. last time I checked, I had 19 options for prepaid SIM cards, which keeps the market quite competitively priced. i'm still shocked that some people tout what T-mobile offers as a prepaid SIM (technically it may be true, but holy crap are the terms awful.) i just picked up a dual SIM phone (Nokia 206) though and i'll pick up a prepaid t-mobile SIM next time I'm in the states just to have a US number for my idiotic friends that can't handle a +49 or 0049 prefix :(

like I said, it's a monopoly. personally, i skip all TV expect the very basic package (€17/mo with 25 channels including international news) and just download TV shows as seasons so I can bypass the commercials. in some countries I've lived in, they show the block of adverts with a clock in the bottom corner so I know how I have to take a leak while the block of commercials is playing ... that was quite nice.

it's an evolutionary process. the DPRK is evolving and I currently like someone to play the antithetic role to the role of the US as global capitalist. we all have our parts (i personally enjoy socialist Europe), but i think your use of "stuck" and "trapped" demonstrate a good bit of ignorance.
