Wouldn't it be great if mobile customers loved their networks so much that they'd fight for them? Ofcom would be inundated with complaints from O2 users about its decision not to allow GSM frequencies to be used for 3G services. Vodafone customers would demand that Nokia pre-loaded the N8 with a Vodafone 360 application.
