   Within 2 or 3 decades we could be talking about a federal United States of Europe or some other kind of union thats like that.
   
   As for Socialist Europe, for the most part, we're capitalistic in the EU but with more social protection then what they have in the US.

   here's a better question, why would I want to pay to watch tv on a mobile phone when I can get one of those potable tv's for next to nothing that does pretty much the same thing?
   
   Chances are there will be more channels on the mobile phones and interactivity, but I doubt that would be enough to get most people to pay up.
   
   here's a thought, why don't they do some kind of sun glasses that you connect to your mobile with headphones and have the screen out putted to the sun glasses, that would be as good as having full screen on the move, well not moving as such as that wouldn't be easy, but say your on the bus, train or plane or many other places it would work, or they could have it transparent so you can see what's going on as well.

   Another thing, the market share is devided up with Skype, MSN, AOL, Yahoo and so on, all locked in on there own network, a open protocol would mean the market share would be much higher in terms of how many people you can talk too.
   
   Imaging like if Skype, Yahoo, MSN, AOL and so on was to use the same protocol, the combined market share would be much higher, this is something open protocols offer, it wouldn't matter if someone is on AOL or Yahoo, someone on say Skype or MSN will be able to talk to them all, with just one account not 4, thats what we need, it would make messenging more like e-mails or phone calls, where you don't think what network your on, you just e-mail or ring the number.

   Lets put it another way, none of them, AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Skype and so on will likely never have big market sure on there own, they are all fragmented, what I'm talking about is one network that has something like 80%, 90% or more market sure, none of them above are ever likely to get that because they are closed networks and I doubt anyone wants a closed network to dominate, so it's likely that a open standerd will dominate in the long run, Jabber and SIP could do that.
   
   Would you trust MSN, Yahoo, AOL or Skype to do, maintain and upgrade say the e-mail standerd over time?, I doubt many would, what we all want is a protocol where everyone can talk to everyone, for that it's likely to be a open standerd, now unless AOL, MSN, Yahoo or Skype was to open up there protocol, then it's unlikely they'll become that standerd.
   
   Where all thses networks have millions of users, a open protocol could have a lot more on one network, just like e-mail uses the same protocol.

   Guys, the idea of this is to create a standerd like e-mail is where they all can talk with each other, MSN, Yahoo and AOL are all closed networks and are never likely to get really high market share, what Google are doing is a great idea and it's a long time comming, if these networks, Jabber and SIP become more mainsream which theres a pretty good chance of that as they are both open, it will mean that it wont matter what messenger software you use, they'll all talk with each other in the same way phone calls do and e-mails do no matter what software you are using and it also means you only have to have one account not 3 or 4 like many do today.
   
   This to me is a big plus.
