Rebtel & O2 Germany

So O2 Germany has decided to block Rebtel's access numbers. When will the mobile operators learn they have to develop and adapt to meet the new competition?

How about doing something really radical like cutting their international rates and competing head-to-head with people like Rebtel and Truphone? Ah! But that would mean cannibalising too much existing revenue.

Not a good time to be seen to be making life more expensive for customers. I'm sure Viviane Reding and the EU will take a keen interest ...
