Norwegian public broadcaster NRK also has a lot of web broadcasting during the olympics here. Right now they have 8 live channels. The streams are wmv and work in ubuntu(vlc), but as with the Swedish parent, I don't know if they are watchable outside of Norway, but in case it does, "Direkte" means Live.
I'm only speculating here but all of those 2.3 million would probably not be harrassed on a national level.
Most would probably be local incidents in schools or at work, spreading rumors about the odd guy in the corner taken to a new level, sometimes exploading into mass hysteria.
If there is one of these in every classroom or workspace the number doesn't seem to far off.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks this sounds crazy. If i were to go out and buy a phone, i could get it with a subscription, usually 12months, and discount. But the providers are required by law to show the consumer the full price of the phone including the service cost at the time the subscription expires. So for a phone with a 12months Subscription i can easily see how much i really have to pay for that one year commitment. In one store the SIEMENS ME75 phone costs $60, and including the the one year supscription the cost is actually $320, not including actual use of the phone. The same phone in the same store costs $190 without the subscription.
And there is no crippling of phones, and roaming or calling people with other providers doesn't cost me anything extra.
Actually UTC is the correct term for the "Universal Time" not GMT, altough it is the same time.
From
Wikipedia:
For most practical and legal-trade purposes, the fractional difference between UTC and UT (or, GMT) is inconsequentially small, and for this reason UTC is colloquially called GMT sometimes, even if this is not technically correct.

It seems Sony Ericcson beat them both, since the W800 har been in the stores for a while already, at least in Europe, don't know about the US though.
