But they only rent the last mile from the Telekom. Starting at the DSLAM they usually bring their own infrastructure. (Except reseller contracts). In the last years there also have been many small, local ISPs popping up, often partly owned

Their objective is clear: Promote their own cloud-services and make deals with cloud-service providers, since those services are not metered. They already have a deal with Spotify in place for their mobile network ( bandwidth throttling, af

Why would a theme park do this? Does the government supply a terrorist-fingerprint database? I would understand if a private company does ID and (maybe) fingerprint checking for visitors of their research facilities. I had this a few times,

I am not familiar with the Spanish tax system, but can't you simply register a Ltd in the UK? EU law says that you are free to incorporate your company where ever you want (in the EU). Or what is this 340€ /month about? Germany saw the prob

Well if you need real cheap plumbing, you can still hire some eastern European guy and pay him cash. But quality control is your problem then and god forbid if you house is flooded after you come back from a weekend trip...
